Hi all,
The Win32 Utils Team is happy to announce the release version 0.2.0 of
the win32-pipe library.
= What is it?
An interface for named pipes on MS Windows.
= What’s new?
- Now pure Ruby.
- Major interface change. Pipe::Server.new and Pipe::Client.new replace
the
Pipe.new_server and Pipe.new_client methods, respectively. - An optional 3rd argument, the open mode, is now accepted which allows
finer
control over how pipes are created. - Several pipe mode and open mode constants were added.
- The asynchronous pipe server actually works now.
- Added the Pipe#name method.
- Added the Pipe#asynchronous? method.
- Added the Pipe#size method as an alias for Pipe#length.
- Added a Rakefile with tasks for testing and installation.
- Added a gemspec and uploaded a gem file to RubyForge.
- Merged the doc files into the README and/or replaced them with inlined
comments that are RDoc friendly.
= Where can I get it?
The usual places - RubyForge or the RAA. Or just “gem install
win32-pipe”.
Give the gem an hour or so to propogate if it doesn’t work right away.
Enjoy!
The Win32 Utils Team
