From: Tim Pease Date: 2009-04-13T02:44:30+09:00 Subject: [ANN] directory_watcher (version 1.2.0) directory_watcher version 1.2.0 by Tim Pease http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/directory_watcher == DESCRIPTION The directory watcher operates by scanning a directory at some interval and generating a list of files based on a user supplied glob pattern. As the file list changes from one interval to the next, events are generated and dispatched to registered observers. Four types of events are supported -- added, modified, stable, and removed. == CHANGES * 2 minor enhancements - added an option to persist state to a file [Benjamin Thomas] - the option to run the directory watcher scanner manually (i.e. one loop at a time)
