[ANN] Arachno Ruby 0.6 for Windows

Hello, i'm happy to tell you that there is a new 0.6.0 release of the Arachno Ruby IDE for Windows. Previous 0.5.X (with X > 6) releases were only unofficial interims releases announced to some customers. A Linux version will follow at the end of week. The installation file is available from http://www.ruby-ide.com/ruby/download.php The 0.6.0 release fixes about 5 different fatal bugs, and a very annoying non fatal repaint bug that left large parts of a window empty when switching back to Arachno from another application (this seemd to happened only on windows). 0.6.0 contains a Ruby Gem Browser and RDOC/RI integration. The later is displayed either via its own http server (started in the background by Arachno) or with the Ruby Class Browser. The functionality is integrated as much as possible into the design of Arachno. For example whenever you add a RubyGem to your project the RDOC/RI data will also automatically added. It is also possible to manually start generation of these data by using the context menu in the filebrowser or with the dialog that comes up when you choose the "Tools > RDoc and RI > Manage Documentation Directories" menu item. There are at least 3 key shortcuts worth learning: a) Control-F1 puts up rdoc documentation for the current project directory tree. b) Control-Shift-F1 runs rdoc on the current project directory tree and so updates the database. c) Control-P Control-D is the shortcut for "pick documentation" and is a very convenient way to display documentation for a ruby method. Unfortunately the implementation took longer then expected, as an attempt to port the TkHTML widget to FOX failed and the class browser documentation window had to be written from scratch. So i'm sorry for the long time without updates. The next development iteration for version 0.7 will go into a revision of the editor and some fine tuning of the current functionality. Don't expect many new features in the next 2 month. This version will then also contain documentation, as many things are now stable enough. After this, for 0.8 a major enhancement to the debugger is planned. Special hacks for Rails/Webrick development will be added to the debugger and it will finally be possible to start an irb like shell from the debugger. This shell will also be available all the time during your development so that you can develop more interactively with Arachno Ruby. Planned release date for this is around christmas. There will be some interims releases for customers and interested beta testers. -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's

I think that this problem can be solved soon then. The mentioned development iteration over the editor in the next 2 month was planned exactly for this reason: looking for pitfalls when switching to UTF8 internally and make any necessary changes right now. -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's

One is now fixed and the other one surrounded with so much debugging code that hope i can fix it the next time it occurs (which does not happen often and is completely unreproducable) -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's

As this is more Freeware then a demo version (no restrictions, no expire) i wait with the next release for linux until i figured out how i want to implement the license/demo schema. -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's
