NAME

   QtRuby 1.0.3
   Korundum 3.3.1

SYNOPSIS

   Ruby bindings for the Qt and KDE GUI apis

DESCRIPTION

   Highlights from the QtRuby ChangeLog
   * Several fixes for programming errors which caused seg faults; now they
   throw a ruby exception.
   * Added Jim Menard's RuBoids Artificial life simulation as an excellent
   demonstration of OpenGL programming with Qt
   * Some improvements to the garbage collection marking process, where some
   instances that were still live were being missed.
   * The ruby vs. C++ arg matching has been improved which catches programming
   errors better.
   * Added the 'Chart' example for Qt Tutorial #2, and the 'Color Tool' example for
   the Qt Designer Tutorial.
   * A occasional crash on application exit has been fixed.
   * The layout of the code generated by the rbuic tool has been improved.
   attr_reader accessor methods are added for the main instances. The '-embed'
   option to embed images now works correctly.
   * The code to resolve to correct ruby class to instantiate for an existing C++
   instance has been improved.

   Highlights from the Korundum ChangeLog
   * Fixed an occasional a crash on application exit
   * Improved the resolution of the ruby classname to instantiate for an
   existing C++ instance, for DOM::Node subclasses and for KArchiveEntry
   subclasses.
