From: Trans Date: 2008-10-11T03:16:31+09:00 Subject: RichUnits 0.4.0 Hi All-- Just wanted to let you know about the RichUnits project. This is a library based on Rich Kilmer's unit system --essentially the same system used by Ruby on Rails. The current project is a combination of the original code, some minor improvements I made a while back, and the Rails versions. The ultimate goal is to create a library better than any of these older variations. That has already started to happen. The Duration class, for instance, has been completely rewritten and (though not 100% finished yet) is much improved. The project is not yet ready for general use (I know of at least a handful of bugs that need to be fixed), but it's pretty close. Sadly, I have too much on plate right now to continue working it. So I was hoping that someone else might find it useful and interesting enough to take it over and finish polishing her off. Rich Kilmer's unit scripts have been in the Ruby ecosystem for a long time. They are genuinely and generally useful scripts, made especially popular by Rails. I truly think they deserve a solid stand alone gem. http://richunits.rubyforge.org T.
