Subject: [ANN] SOAP4R/1.4.4

Hi all,

I posted SOAP4R/1.4.4 at RAA yesterday.
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=SOAP4R

'SOAP4R' is an implementation of
SOAP 1.1 (W3C Note) [URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/].

From the release note of SOAP4R/1.4.4.

  This is a bug fix release. Following users should update.

  * Users who use DateTime datatype.
  * Developers of SOAP client/server which works under
    multi-thread condition.
  * REXML users.

  Fixed bugs.

  * XSDDataTime: Changed variable name usec to sec_frac.
    It's not a micro sec so name usec is misleading.
  * XSDTime: Fixed bugs in usec part.
  * date.rb in standard library and date2 version 3 conflicts
    because date2.rb is a successor of date.rb and not
    designed for dual use. (ex. using a module which requires
    date.rb like DBI and another module which requires date2.rb).
    Added a workaround for this.
  * SOAP::Processor was not MT-safe. Fixed. Projected feature
    regards to MT are follows. At least I hope so. Tell me if
    you find these wrong.
    * Driver: safe
    * Proxy: safe
    * Server: safe
    * CGIStub: safe
    * StandaloneServer: safe
    * RPCRouter: safe
    * StreamHandler: safe
    * Processor: safe
    * SOAPParser: unsafe
    * SOAPGenerator: unsafe
    * EncodingStyleHandler: unsafe
  * SOAP4R/1.4.3 supports REXML/2.1.3 but it did not detect
    REXML processor automatically.
