Subject: [ANN] Jabber4R 0.2.0

I am pleased to announce the second release of the Jabber Ruby client
library.  This release adds support for registering accounts as well as
subscription management.

From the site: http://infoether.com/ruby/jabber4r/index.htm

This library was created to allow a Ruby application to connect to a
Jabber account as an additional resource. This is not meant to be a
library to create a complete Ruby-based Jabber IM client. It was written
for ease of use, not completeness.

It currently supports:

* Account registration 
* Connection to an account 
* Access to Roster (buddy list) 
* Tracking of presence of resources in the Roster 
  (including local account resources) 
* Sending and receiving messages 
* Managing subscriptions

An example use:

require "jabber4r/jabber4r"
begin
 session = Jabber::Session.bind_digest("account@host/resource",
"password")
 message = session.new_message("rich_kilmer@jabber.org")
 message.subject = "hello"
 message.body = "This is really cool"
 message.send
rescue Exception=>error
  puts error
ensure
  session.release if session
end
