Hi all

The most recent release of the Ruby-Gnome2 bindings was 0.19. I’d like  
to suggest that the developers/release managers consider calling the  
next release version 1.0.

Of course we all know that the version number really doesn’t mean  
anything but on the other hand the Ruby-Gnome2 bindings already work  
well and are being used by many people. They are well beyond the ‘alpha  
quality’ that such a low version number might suggest.

Just a suggestion.

Grant

I agree that the quality of rubygnome bindings is good enough. It is  
stable enough too, imho, for around 95% of my needs.

What I would however suggest is to try to keep up with gnome more - if  
gnome releases version (lets say) 3.0, then ruby-gnome should try to  
keep up and release a 3.0 version. (or 3.0 alpha, 3.0 beta… before 3.0  
will be ready. I guess it will always be with a delay)
