Hi all

I’m pleased to announce that wxRuby 2.0.0’s now available for Ruby 1.8  
and 1.9. It’s a happy moment for the project, this being the first  
official stable release, the fruit of several years development.

INSTALLATION

For now, we recommend you go to the download page, download a binary gem  
for your platform from there, and install it locally with gem install

[http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=35](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35)

(RubyGems seems to be offering outdated downloads when used remotely)

WHAT’S NEW

The majority of changes in this release are improvements and additions  
to the documentation and samples in RC1. A small number of bugfixes were  
also applied. See the ChangeLog for details.

CREDITS

A very big thank you to all those who’ve contributed to the project over  
the past few years to get it to this point. We plan to keep moving  
wxRuby forward, so stay involved and let us know what you’d like to  
see…

all the best  
alex
