Subject: [ANN] win32console 1.3.0 Released

win32console version 1.3.0 has been released!

* <http://rubyforge.org/projects/winconsole>
* <http://github.com/luislavena/win32console>
* <http://rdoc.info/projects/luislavena/win32console>

Win32::Console allows controling the windows command line terminal
thru an OO-interface. This allows you to query the terminal (find
its size, characters, attributes, etc). The interface and functionality
should be identical to Perl's counterpart.

A port of Perl's Win32::Console and Win32::Console::ANSI modules.

This gem packages Gonzalo Garramuno's Win32::Console project, and includes
a compiled binary for speed. The Win32::Console project's home can be
found at:

  http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32console

Changes:

### 1.3.0 / 2007-03-14

* Enhancements
  * Works with Ruby 1.9
  * Usage of Hoe and rake-compiler to ease releasing and extension
    compilation.
  * Redirect STDERR to be processed also for ANSI codes. Closes GH-4
  * Allow ECHO to be displayed [jloveces]

* Bugfixes
  * Properly catch coloring when using autospec in Ruby 1.9 [vertiginous]
    Closes GH-3

* Known issues:
  * win32console no longer automatically translate encoding to the console
    output enconding. Please use Iconv to convert from your encoding (eg. UTF8)
    to current console output:

      current_cp = Win32::Console::OutputCP()
      Iconv.iconv("cp#{current_cp}", "utf-8", utf_string)

    A working example can be seen here: http://gist.github.com/265593
