G’day folks, A new release of Vim/Ruby has just been uploaded to RubyForge. This is intended as the final release before Vim 7.1 ships in the next few days. It would be helpful if any major issues were reported as soon as possible. Tim Pope has now taken over maintenance of the eRuby syntax and ftplugin files - officially making him the “eRuby Guy”. Tim has overhauled the eRuby support to allow for Ruby to be embedded in filetypes other than just HTML. By default the ‘subtype’ is determined from the filename extension. For example, foo.js.erb is detected as eRuby in Javascript. This can be overridden by setting the b:eruby\_subtype buffer variable and, of course, RHTML files only require the standard \*.rhtml extension. The Ruby ftplugin now includes Ruby specific implementations for the [[,]], [], ][, [m,]m, [M, and]M normal mode commands. These allow you to move to move quickly between module, class and method declarations. There have also been a number of bug fixes to the Ruby syntax, ftplugin and indent files. Finally, this release includes a Vimball installation package for the adventurous. See the NEWS and ChangeLog files for more details.
