Hi

I just upgraded the binaries of IronRuby for IronRuby MVC and suddenly  
IronRuby doesn’t know how to handle protected methods in an inherited  
class.  
when i changed visibility it worked again. The error message was clear:  
RubyController.View has no publicly visible members  
Is this supposed to happen?

Cheers

This is a temporary limitation. It will be fixed.
