Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Practical Ruby 0.2.1

    Hi everyone,

    I'm glad to announce the release of Practical Ruby 0.2.1
((http://gaiacrtn.free.fr/), an IDE for Ruby on the Windows platform. This
release of Practical Ruby brings the basic editor functionnalities. Good
enough that I have been using it for a few days.

 New in Practical Ruby 0.2.1:
 ----------------------------

* New features

  - BraceHighlight: higlight opposite braces, and mark brace if
    no opposite brace is found!

  - Bookmarks: set bookmark on lines and jump back to them

  - Use monospaced font

  - Tab and Backspace key indent/unindent

  - Smarter indent: automatically indent after class/def/for/while..., and
    unindent end/else.

  - Find: search for a given text in the source (not case sensitive)

  - Ask to save a file when closing a window if the file as been modified

  - Ask to confirm when closing application with some dirty files

  - Failures that occurs during commands are reported with a dump of the
    exception that occured (not very clear, but better than nothing)

* New commands:

  - File/New: create a new untitled ruby editor window.

  - File/Open: open one or many text files, and create a new editor window
    for each file (Read only check box not supported at the current time).

  - File/Save: save the file under the same name as when it was opened. Ask
    the file name if its a new file.

  - File/Save: ask for a file name, and save the file.

  - Bookmark/Toggle: toggle bookmark on the current line

  - Bookmark/JumpToNext: jump to the next bookmark, restarting from the
start
    of the document if there is no next bookmark.

  - Bookmark/JumpToPrevious: jump to the previous bookmark, restarting from
    the end of the document if there is no previous bookmark.

  - Bookmark/JumpToLast: jump to the last bookmark that has been set.

  - Find/Find: ask the text to find and search for the first occurence of
the
    given text starting from the caret position.

  - Find/Next: search for the next occurence of the text specified by Find
    after the caret position.

  - Find/Previous: search for the previous occurence of the text specified
    by Find before the caret position.

* Known bugs

  - Recent files menu is not updated.

* BugFix:

  - Returns type of function in ScintillaBridge was not commented correctly.

  - Smart indents inserted additionnal lines when indenting empty lines.

  - Commands were not correctly disabled


Enjoy,
Baptiste Lepilleur.
