For the ones that cares: I’m still alive.

I have so cool news to everybody:

MySQL/Ruby support

As I announced 2 months ago, new releases of MySQL gem are going to be build from my repository at GitHub

Please note: only report bugs related to the gem itself, more likely the binary issues. Other type of bugs will be rejected, since this gem is a wrapper around MySQL/Ruby code from Tomita Mashahiro (tmtm)

SQLite3/Ruby bindings

I took the role of maintainer of SQLite3/Ruby project, but I really lack the skills to dig into all the inner details of it.

So, I’m opening the door to anyone with new features, enhancements or bug fixes to fork my clone of the project (here), do your changes and send a pull request.

Both RubyForge Tracker and GitHub pull requests will be honored.

Pure-Ruby Readline (rb-readline)

Released version 0.2.0 a couple of weeks ago, but still is far from perfect.

We are still missing IO redirect and be able to run test_readline.rb test directly.

Roger Pack worked on that, but he also needs some help

Please, fork the project, do your changes and send your pull requests!

Windows Console (win32console) new release soon.

A few patches to improve 1.9 compatibility are under way.

rake-compiler get more audience!

That’s right folks!, rake-compiler now is being used to drive the compile and release process of native gems for DataMapper, FFI and even Thin !

Not too bad for 10 months old tool, ah?

Thanks to all the developers involved in these projects for caring about their products and adding the compatibility for Windows.

More projects listed here … Keep them coming!

Ruby Installer for Windows

Preview and DevKit releases has been moved to RubyForge

While our preview concept is quite stable, we are working on getting it better

Got my certificates to deliver signed installers, how cool is that?

Still alive an kicking

If you think I’m quiet, please join us at RubyInstaller Google Group, will find out that I talk more there than here
