Subject: neversaydie version 1.0.0 has been released!

neversaydie version 1.0.0 has been released!

* <http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org>
* <http://github.com/tenderlove/neversaydie>

NEVER SAY DIE lets you rescue from segmentation faults.  Got a SEGV, don't
worry about it anymore!  Just rescue an exception and get on with life.  Who
cares about getting a SEGV anyway?  It's just memory.  I mean, when I was in
school, I didn't need 100% to pass the class.  Why should your memory need to
be 100% correct to get the job done?  A little memory corruption here and there
doesn't hurt anyone.

So go for it!  Kick back, grab a beer, require the NEVER SAY DIE gem and let
your problems go away sometimes!

## FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Oh so many problems...
* Portability...
* Not solving the root cause..
* It might not work.
* Just to name a few

## SYNOPSIS:

I will let the (passing) test speak for itself:

  assert_raises NeverSayDie do
    NeverSayDie.segv
  end

Here is the source of the segv method:

  static VALUE segv(VALUE self)
  {
    int *ptr = NULL;
    *ptr = 1;
  
    return self;
  }

## REQUIREMENTS:

* libsigsegv

## INSTALL:

First, install libsigsegv.  If you're on OS X, do this:

  $ sudo port install libsigsegv

I'm not sure about other platforms.  Then install the gem:

  $ sudo gem install neversaydie

Changes:

### 1.0.0 / 2009-08-10

* 1 major enhancement

  * Birthday!
