Subject: [ANN] pasteboard 1.0 Released

pasteboard version 1.0 has been released!

* http://github.com/drbrain/pasteboard
* http://docs.seattlerb.org/pasteboard

Pasteboard wraps the OS X system pasteboard.  Pasteboard allows you to add
and retrieve multiple items and multiple item flavors to the pasteboard unlike
+pbpaste+ and +pbcopy+ which only allow text.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Supports multiple pasteboards
* Returns data with the proper encoding
* Built in library of types in Pasteboard::Type
* Does not understand type conformance (Pasteboard::Type::IMAGE will not
  retrieve a Pasteboard::Type::JPEG)

== SYNOPSIS:

  require 'pasteboard'

  pasteboard = Pasteboard.new

Adding a URL to the clipboard:

  pasteboard.put_url 'http://blog.segment7.net', 'my blog'

Adding a JPEG with URL to the clipboard:

  pasteboard.put_jpeg_url jpeg, 'http://example', 'my cool jpeg'

Adding other data to the clipboard (TIFF + URL):

  item = [
    [Pasteboard::Type::TIFF,     tiff],
    [Pasteboard::Type::URL,      url],
    [Pasteboard::Type::URL_NAME, url],
    [Pasteboard::Type::UTF_8,    url],
  ]
  
  pasteboard.put item

Retrieving data from the clipboard:

  require 'pasteboard'

  pb = Pasteboard.new

  pb.first # => all flavors, see Pasteboard#[]

  pb.first Pasteboard::Type::TIFF # => TIFF data
