[ANN] Ruby-GNOME2-0.16.0

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2

Hi Forks,

Sorry for late, but now Ruby-GNOME2-0.16.0 is available.
Enjoy!

Note: I canceled to release Ruby/GStreamaer and Ruby/Libgda
because they’ve not been maintained for a long time and
they can’t be compiled against the latest version of those C libraries.

Highlights

  • Fixed serious bugs (depends on GC)
  • Support GTK±2.10 and the latest version of each libraries.
  • Don’t include Ruby/GStreamer and Ruby/Libgda. We cancel to
    support Ruby/GStreamer and Ruby/Libgda.
  • Cancel to support ruby-1.6.x and GTK±2.4 or earlier.

I might be interested in working on these in some of my spare time.

Thanks.

But I need to explain some reason why I canceled them.

  • Ruby/GStreamer
    Yet another Ruby/GStreamer binding(but it’s support gstreamer-0.10.0)
    was released by Sjoerd. I think it’s better to hep him.

  • Ruby/Libgda
    There are some other libraries for same purpose such as ruby-dbi.
    I don’t know the advantage to use it unless using ruby-dbi and others.

Now, I’m considering to cancel to maintain some sub-libraries to reduce
my tasks on this project.

The second targets are Ruby/GtkHtml2, Ruby/GnomeVFS.
They’ve not been well maintained and there are other libraries for same
purpose such as Ruby/GtkMozembed, open-uri, Net::*.

Of course, if someone become the maintainer of these libraries, we can
keep to
include them into ruby-gnome2-all.

Hi Masao,

Sorry for late, but now Ruby-GNOME2-0.16.0 is available.

Thanks for the release and your hard work. Seems that this release
works fine with my programs (maybe you should submit a candidate
release to the list before the actual release, so that we can discover
the small glitches that appeared a little while later?).

  • Ruby/GTK
    • Support GTK±2.10. [Pascal T., Kouhei S., Masao M.]
      Gtk::PrintUnixDialog, Gtk::PageSetupUnixDialog, Gtk::Print*, Gtk::PageSet
      Gtk::LinkButton, Gtk::Recent*, Gtk::Assistant, Gtk::StatusIcon

Notice that I did quite a few of them.

Best regards.

Hi,

I get the following error when I try to compile the bindings for Pango

Any idea how to fix this ?

It seems that your Ruby/Pango can’t detect your Pango version correctly.
Could you re-run extconf.rb?

Thanks,
