Subject: [ruby-talk:16949] Ruby/X11 version 0.4




	http://hostname.2y.net/~matju/RubyX11/RubyX11-0.4.tar.gz



Announcing Ruby/X11 version 0.4. This is, as promised, a quite
different version. For example, version 0.3 doesn't work, but version
0.4 does. See? It's simply different.



0.4 (2001.06.27)

 * changed license to LGPL
 * more documentation (especially, new section "Calling Conventions")
 * test/test02.rb (from O'Reilly's "basicwin.c") now _works_.
 * more fixes to Event (detail, keymasks, ...)
 * fixed many :length/:data declarations (#draw_strings, Font#query, etc)

 * up to twice as fast
 * added asynchronous replies (with callbacks)
 * added Display#wait_for (adds a sync-point for a set of async replies)
 * added some arithmetic to vector-like classes

 * changes in metatypes and declaration system:
   * Aggregate,AggregateType merged -> Tuple
   * PartialAggregate,PartialAggregateType merged -> PartialTuple
   * TupleFields<Tuple, describes a field of a Tuple
   * Length[s,t],Data[s,t] -> [s,t,:length], [s,t,:data]
   * :self -> [:self,...]; Unused[n] -> [nil,Unused[n]]

 * files merged: Graphics into XID; Choices into Base; Auth into Display
 * Keysyms: ~750 -> 836 syms; 24k -> 15k bytes incl cursorfont.
