RDoc 2.5.11
Eric Hodel | Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:55:16 GMT
RDoc is an application that produces documentation for one or more Ruby source files. RDoc includes the rdoc and ri tools for generating and displaying online documentation.
At this point in time, RDoc 2.x is a work in progress and may incur further API changes beyond what has been made to RDoc 1.0.1. Command-line tools are largely unaffected, but internal APIs may shift rapidly.
See RDoc for a description of RDoc’s markup and basic use.
2.5.11 / 2010-08-20
Minor Enhancements
Alias comments are now discovered by the C parser. Reported by Jeremy Evans.
Removed —all option which is unused in RDoc. Use the nodoc or stopdoc/startdoc directives to suppress documentation instead.
2.5.10 / 2010-08-17
Minor Enhancements
Support rb_singleton_class(). Reported by Jeremy Evans.
Support rb_define_private_method() on rb_singleton_class(). Reported by Jeremy Evans.
Bug Fixes
Treat non-ASCII RDoc files as text. Bug #28391 by Kouhei Sutou.
Fix potential test failures due to ivar collision. Bug #28390 by Kouhei Sutou.
Added duck-typed #aref for RDoc::Attr to RDoc::AnyMethod. Bug #28375 by Erik Hollensbe
Fixed method references in HTML output when show_hash is false.
Fixed comments with ’.’ in call-seq in C sources. Reported by Jeremy Evans.

ruby-growl 2.0
Eric Hodel | Sat, 12 Jun 2010 05:39:12 GMT
ruby-growl version 2.0 has been released!
A pure-ruby growl notifier. ruby-growl allows you to perform Growl notification via UDP from machines without growl installed (for example, non-OSX machines).
What’s Growl? Growl is a really cool “global notification system for Mac OS X”. See growl.info/
See also the Ruby Growl bindings in Growl’s subversion repository: growl.info/documentation/growl-source-install.php
ruby-growl also contains a command-line notification tool named ‘growl’. Where possible, it isoption-compatible with growlnotify. (Use —priority instead of -p.)
Changes:
Major Enhancements
1.9-ready
Notification levels now work on x86
Notification levels no longer work on PPC
Minor Enhancements
Added Growl.list which finds local hosts running growl using dnssd.

RubyGems 1.3.7
Eric Hodel | Fri, 14 May 2010 04:55:53 GMT
rubygems-update version 1.3.7 has been released!
RubyGems is a package management framework for Ruby.
This gem is an update for the RubyGems software. You must have an installation of RubyGems before this update can be applied.
See Gem for information on RubyGems (or `ri Gem`)
To upgrade to the latest RubyGems, run:
$ gem update --system # you might need to be an administrator or root
NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to use the following instructions if you see “Nothing to update”.
If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps:
$ gem install rubygems-update # again, might need to be admin/root $ update_rubygems # ... here too
If you don’t have any RubyGems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software, doing it manually:
Download from: rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
Unpack into a directory and cd there
Install with: ruby setup.rb # you may need admin/root privilege
For more details and other options, see:
ruby setup.rb --help
Changes
NOTE:
rubygems.org is now the default source for downloading gems.
You may have sources set via ~/.gemrc, so you should replace gems.rubyforge.org with rubygems.org
gems.rubyforge.org will continue to work for the forseeable future.
New features:
`gem` commands
`gem install` and `gem fetch` now report alternate platforms when a matching one couldn’t be found.
`gem contents` —prefix is now the default as specified in —help. Bug #27211 by Mamoru Tasaka.
`gem fetch` can fetch of old versions again. Bug #27960 by Eric Hankins.
`gem query` and friends output now lists platforms. Bug #27856 by Greg Hazel.
`gem server` now allows specification of multiple gem dirs for documentation. Bug #27573 by Yuki Sonoda.
`gem unpack` can unpack gems again. Bug #27872 by Timothy Jones.
`gem unpack` now unpacks remote gems.
—user-install is no longer the default. If you really liked it, see Gem::ConfigFile to learn how to set it by default. (This change was made in 1.3.6)
RubyGems now has platform support for IronRuby. Patch #27951 by Will Green.
Bug fixes:
Require rubygems/custom_require if —disable-gem was set. Bug #27700 by Roger Pack.
RubyGems now protects against exceptions being raised by plugins.
rubygems/builder now requires user_interaction. Ruby Bug #1040 by Phillip Toland.
Gem::Dependency support #version_requirements= with a warning. Fix for old Rails versions. Bug #27868 by Wei Jen Lu.
Gem::PackageTask depends on the package dir like the other rake package tasks so dependencies can be hooked up correctly.
