Subject: [ANN] fxirb 0.2.0 - Multiline Edit (and request for help)

available at http://rubyforge.org/projects/fxirb/

Finally got around to my 0.2 milestone, proper multiline editing.

You can now:

1. Paste in a multiline block of code and edit it immediately using all
four arrow keys

2. Enter a multiline block line by line, and have it occupy a single
multiline slot in the history once it's done

3. Edit a multiline history item using all four arrow keys

Associated behaviour change:

 Up/Down arrows now only scroll history if not in multiline mode
 PgUp/PgDn always scroll history

The other major change is the ability to pass in an on_exit block, which
is instance_evaled by the FxIRB widget when its internal IRB thread
exits. Usage:

 fxirb = FXIrb.init(window, nil, 0,
 		LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|TEXT_WORDWRAP|TEXT_SHOWACTIVE)
 fxirb.on_exit {exit}

This should make it possible to embed fxirb in another application, and
not have the whole application exit when IRB exits.

The target for the 0.3 and 0.4 milestones are a menu-and-button frame in
standalone mode, and an implementation of 'gets' (I really would like
some help with the latter - I don't know enough about IRB internals or
FOX to see what I need to do. To see the problem, just start up FXIrb
and type in "a = gets")
