Ruby Weekly News 7th - 13th August 2006
=======================================

   Ruby Weekly News is a summary of the week's activity on the ruby-talk
   mailing list / the comp.lang.ruby newsgroup / Ruby forum, brought to you
   by Tim Sutherland.

   [ Contribute to the next newsletter ]

Articles and Announcements
==========================

     * blade will be stopped 
     -----------------------

       The ruby-talk.org mailing-list archive is down at the moment. Use
       nagaokaut.ac.jp instead.

     * Ruby Cookbook now in PDF format 
     ---------------------------------

       Last week, many people said they would like a PDF version of the Ruby
       Cookbook.

       Good news, reports Leonard Richardson, "O'Reilly is now selling the
       Ruby Cookbook as a downloadable PDF for 50% off the cover price. AFAIK
       this is the first full-length O'Reilly book to be sold as PDF, and if
       it goes well, other O'Reilly books should follow."

     * Ruport Day has begun! 
     -----------------------

       Ruport Day came and went (a day to make improvements to the Ruport
       project, complete with prizes). Gregory Brown writes "The overall
       winner, who deserves massive props is James Healy, who introduced SVG
       Graph support, as well as a sizeable chunk of documentation to the
       project".

       Ibroadfo was second, Eric Pugh third, followed by James Edward Gray
       II.

       Gregory would like to get in contact with the maintainer of
       SVG::Graph, to talk about how it could be packaged for Ruport (e.g. a
       gem).

     * Ruby Inside offers $100 prize for blogging about Ruby between
     ---------------------------------------------------------------
       August 12-19 
       ------------

       Ruby Inside is offering a $100 prize to a random blogger who creates
       and posts an interesting post about Ruby and/or Ruby on Rails in the
       forthcoming week, along with a $15 second prize to a random person who
       links to the contest. As a aggregator of Ruby content, Ruby Inside is
       suffering during the summer lull, so perhaps this could get some new,
       interesting content out into the wild.

     * OS X Leopard shipping with Rails! 
     -----------------------------------

       Daniel Schierbeck reported that MacOS X Leopard will include Ruby,
       RubyGems and Rails. Apple have been shipping Ruby with their operating
       system since around 2002, but in the past there have been old versions
       or little issues that caused problems for Rails. For this release,
       Apple have been communicating with the Rails core team to ensure
       everything's done right.

       DHH blogs:

       > It's been no secret that Apple is held in very high regard by the
       > Rails community. Every single Rails Core contributer is running on
       > Apple and the vast majority of Rails developers are too. To see
       > Apple acknowledge this and return the favor is very rewarding.

       People are particularly pleased that Apple's using RubyGems, so
       updating Rails and installing other Ruby libraries will work as
       Rubyists expect.

     * Microsoft Phasing in Support for Dynamic Languages on .Net 
     ------------------------------------------------------------

       An interesting article at eWEEK.com about dynamic languages on
       Microsoft's .NET platform, with lots of quotes from IronPython creator
       Jim Hugunin and John Lam (of RubyCLR fame).

       "People say they love a language like Ruby because it has this
       simplicity and this dynamism."

     * Tim Bray (Sun Microsystems) on Ruby 
     -------------------------------------

       Tim Bray, the Directory of Web Technologies at Sun Microsystems (and
       recent contributor to the Ruby community) wrote a mostly-positive
       article "On Ruby" describing his initial experiences.

User Group News
===============

     * mkerb.org - Milwaukee RUG Meeting [August 9] 
     ----------------------------------------------

       The Milwaukee RUG (Wisconsin, U.S.) had their latest meeting on August
       9. Thanks to SpiderLogic for providing space for the meeting.

     * Phoenix Ruby User Group August Meeting 
     ----------------------------------------

       James Britt: "The Phoenix Ruby Users Group will hold its August
       meeting on Monday, August 14, 2006, at 6:15pm. The meeting will be
       held at facilities graciously provided by Cyclone Commerce."

Threads
=======

  Ruby stable branch is....1.9?
  -----------------------------

   Is Ruby 1.9 the stable branch? No, 1.8 is still the latest stable branch,
   but 1.9 will become a stable branch in the future.

  RubyConf in Second Life?
  ------------------------

   John Lam had an idea of holding a virtual equivalent to RubyConf in
   `Second Life' (SL), a "a privately-owned, partly subscription-based 3-D
   virtual world" [wikipedia], run by Linden Labs.

   Charles O Nutter said there is already a SL rubylist community that meets
   every first and third Thursday of each month. "Feel free to stop by, we're
   interested in having more folks attend, and there's a nice big
   presentation screen and plenty of seating. There's even an in-world IRB
   extension to play with Ruby while you're there."

  Einrichtung einer deutschsprachigen Ruby-Newsgroup (bitte lesen!)
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

   Christian Janoff proposed creating the newsgroup "de.comp.lang.ruby" for
   German-language Ruby discussions, but Josef `Jupp' Schugt suggested
   "de.alt.ruby" instead, as it's much easier to create a newsgroup under
   "de.alt" than the general "de" hierachy.

   Stefan Scholl said that the lack of traffic in "de.comp.lang.misc" was a
   bad sign for the proposed group, and James Britt linked to
   gmane.comp.lang.ruby.german.

  LDAP
  ----

   barjunk asked which LDAP libraries people prefer, and the answer was
   Net::LDAP.

   Austin Ziegler pointed out that it's the only pure-Ruby LDAP library. The
   alternative is ruby-ldap, a binding to a C LDAP library.

   Francis Cianfrocca added: "Get Net::LDAP and read the Rdoc for
   Net::LDAP#open. As Austin said, this library is very disciplined (and
   documented) about how it uses the network (unlike the native-C libraries),
   and it's pure Ruby- no compiler needed on any platform."

  why doesn't Array include Comparable
  ------------------------------------

   Ara T. Howard asked why Array, which does has a meaningful <=> (spaceship)
   operator, doesn't include the Comparable mixin. Comparable adds <, >, <=,
   between? etc. methods.

   A couple of people agreed that it would be useful.

  Proper Case (#89)
  -----------------

   Elliot Temple was behind last week's Ruby Quiz, to write a method that
   correctly capitalises the words in English sentences.

  Pen and Paper (#90)
  -------------------

   This week's Ruby Quiz asks you to write a program to play a simple
   pen-and-paper game, involving a grid of numbers. The quiz was written by
   Eric Duminil.

  FSF Award. Guido / Larry won it, why not matz?
  ----------------------------------------------

   Gregory Brown nominated Matz for the 2006 FSF Award for the Advancement of
   Free Software, noting that Guido and Larry (Python, Perl creators
   respectively) have previously received it.

New Releases
============

  Mongrel 0.3.13.4 Pre-Release -- PID Files Working
  -------------------------------------------------

   Zed Shaw asks people to try out the latest Mongrel pre-release. "This
   release is pretty close to becoming official."

   "Mongrel is a fast HTTP library and server for Ruby that is intended for
   hosting Ruby web applications of any kind using plain HTTP rather than
   FastCGI or SCGI. It is framework agnostic and already supports Ruby On
   Rails, Og+Nitro, and Camping frameworks."

  Pandora 0.4.3 Release
  ---------------------

   Wiki-engine Pandora has a new search function, common-book sidebar,
   site-wide menu, bug fixes and more, said Julian I. Kamil.

   He also explained what makes it different from other Wiki engines:

   > it uses a `book' metaphor for managing its contents. As a Pandora user,
   > you would publish books, with chapters, and pages. As the publisher, you
   > decide who can author the books contents, who can edit them, and who can
   > view them. All of these and the associated user management functions are
   > built into the system.

   See 'The Ruby Bookshelf' for an example.

  Dr Nic's Magic Models
  ---------------------

   Dr Nic's Magic Models dazzled the crowd. This is a library that lets you
   access your ActiveRecord objects with even less work than before.

   Actually, there's no work now. You don't even need to declare your model
   classes.

   Say you have an empty Rails project, with a database having
   `people', `groups' and `membership' tables. Just open up a console and
   start manipulating your objects:

 >> person = Person.find(1)
 => <Person:0x3958930 @attributes={"lastname"=>"Williams", "firstname"=>"Nic",
 "id"=>"1", "email"=>"drnicwilliams@gmail.com"}>
 >> person.memberships
 => [<Membership:0x393a000 @attributes={"group_id"=>"1", "id"=>"1", "person_id"=>"1"}>]
 >> person.groups
 => [<Group:0x390df60 @attributes={"name"=>"Magic Models Forum", "id"=>"1", "description"=>nil}>]

   The above example, taken from the Magic Models homepage, demonstrates that
   even has_many :through relationships are automatically discovered.

  Zerenity 1.0
  ------------

   "Zerenity is an almost clone of Zenity for Ruby. It allows for the easy
   creation of simple graphical dialogs from a Ruby script." (Using
   Ruby/GTK2.)

   It's written by Farrel Lifson. The 1.0 version adds a significant number
   of unit tests.

  RFuzz 0.7 -- Win32, Bug Fix, Browser Begins
  -------------------------------------------

   Zed Shaw put out another RFuzz release.

   "RFuzz is an HTTP client library that you can use in combination with a
   random junk generator to conduct fuzzing tests against any HTTP server (or
   web app). It's not limited to fuzzing, as the HTTP client can work as a
   Net/HTTP replacement, and you can easily just make regular requests."

  RubyPhone project updated
  -------------------------

   Gregarican: "This project ports the TSAPI (Telephony Services API) library
   to Ruby so you can create CTI applications using the power, fun, and
   flexibility of Ruby."

   There is now a CSTA Simulator, to simulate a PBX.

  rcov 0.7.0 (code coverage for Ruby)
  -----------------------------------

   The rcov code-coverage tool now has an-aggregate option, to merge results
   from multiple runs, and some bugs were fixed, Mauricio Fernandez
   announced.

  open4-0.5.0
  -----------

   Ara T. Howard added timeouts to open4, a version of the open method to "
   open child process with handles on pid, stdin, stdout, and stderr: manage
   child processes and their io handles easily."

  Ruby Reports 0.4.21, 0.4.23
  ---------------------------

   Gregory Brown optimistically released the "Probably Broken" Edition of
   Ruby Reports. "This is the 8th release since the start of Google's Summer
   of Code".

   This development release removes the old data-structures that were exposed
   to Ruport designers.

   It was indeed broken, and version 0.4.23 followed, fixing Ruport::Query.
   There is now a proof-of-concept Invoice Engine, and a tool to create
   skeleton config files etc.

  Rails 1.1.6: Stronger fix, backports, and full disclosure
  ---------------------------------------------------------

   David Heinemeier Hansson announced Rails 1.1.6, with a better fix for the
   recent security issue around routing. Only 1.1.x releases were vunerable
   (1.0.x are ok), and the fix has been backported to each affected release.

   The fix breaks third-party engines, but there is an interim workaround
   that you can use until these are updated (just block certain URLs).

   There is now a rails-security mailing list (announcements only), and a
   #rails-security IRC channel on Freenet.

  Cerberus 0.2.0
  --------------

   Anatol Pomozov: "Cerberus is a Continuous Builder software for Ruby.
   Cerberus could be periodically run from scheduler and check if application
   tests are broken. If it happens then Cerberus will send notification to
   project developers."

  Ruby In Steel 0.75
  ------------------

   Huw Collingbourne: "This release includes significantly enhanced colour
   coding and collapsing for both Ruby and Rails (RHTML) files and provides
   support for debugging support for Ruby In Rails. Previous versions only
   provided debugging for standard Ruby projects. The Ruby In Steel IDE is
   hosted within Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 (Standard edition or
   better)."
