NAME 
 
   QtRuby 1.0.8 
   Korundum 3.4.0
   KDevelop 3.2.0
 
SYNOPSIS 
 
   Ruby bindings for the Qt and KDE GUI apis, combinded with an IDE for RAD 
 
DESCRIPTION 
 
   Highlights from the QtRuby ChangeLog 
 
   * An 'include Qt' statement in qtruby.rb where a couple of methods were
     being added to class Module was causing all the Qt methods to be added
     to Module. Oops, this a really serious bug. Various methods in
     qtruby.rb are now module methods in the Qt::Internal module. Big thanks
     to Eric Veensta and Samir Patel for pointing out this can of worms.

   * It also fixes a problem reported by David Crosby where a "require
     'time'" statement was incompatible with a "require 'Qt'" statement. As
     the cause was unknown, a hacky workround had to be added, which is no
     longer needed.

   * rbuic was giving widgets names containing a '@' to match the ruby
     instance variable name. However, this doesn't work with
     KDE::ConfigDialog which expects the names to match the ones generated
     in a KDE::ConfigSkeleton by rbkconfig_compiler so '@' is no longer
     added.

   * Added a Qt::Integer.coerce method so that Qt::Integers and Qt::Enums
     can be combined in arithmetic expressions with ruby Integers. 
 
   Highlights from the Korundum ChangeLog 
 
   * Fixed problems caused ''include Qt'' and "include KDE" statements in
     korundum.rb where a couple of methods were being added to  class Module
     was causing all the Qt and KDE methods to be added to Module.

   * Added marshallers for KIO::UDSEntry and KIO::UDSEntryList, and accessor
     methods for fields in the KIO::UDSAtom struct. Fixes problem reported
     by Ian Monroe.

   * Added rbkconfig_compiler for compiling .kcfg files to ruby
 
   KDevelop Ruby Support 
 
   * Integrated Qt Designer KPart component for creating UIs graphically 
   * Source code debugger 
   * Code folding/Syntax highlighting 
   * Templates for Qt and KDE project types 
   * Class browser with support for Qt features such as signals/slots, 
     or KDE dcop signals slots
