Hi all,

The Win32Utils team is happy to announce the release of win32-sound  
0.4.0.

# What’s new?

This release replaces the C code with a pure Ruby version that uses the  
Win32API package. It also adds a gemspec, and a gem on RubyForge.

That means that you can now do: gem install win32-sound.

# Why?

This was a small package that was easy to convert.  
There’s a bug in gems wrt nested module/classes and C extensions.  
Compiler issues, especially with the latest one click installer, were  
proving to be too annoying.

# What about the other Win32Utils packages?

Some will be converted. Some will not, at least not for a while. Keep  
an eye out.

Regards,

The Win32Utils Team
