Subject: Re: GridFlow 0.6.0


Here is a new release of GridFlow (a multi-dimensional dataflow processing
library for Ruby and jMax, specialized in pictures and video)

 	http://artengine.ca/jmax/gridflow/latest/doc/
 	http://artengine.ca/jmax/gridflow/download/gridflow-0.6.0.tar.gz

Reminder: i am on channels #jmax,#ruby-lang on IRC.OpenProjects.Net

version 0.6.0 (2002.07.31):
 * THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL BRANCH (VERY BUGGY)
     REAL PROJECTS SHOULD USE VERSION 0.5.0 INSTEAD
 * GridFlow rewritten as a plugin for Ruby instead of jMax.
 * GridFlow now includes a Ruby-for-jMax bridge.
 * you need Ruby 1.6.6 (including libruby.so) or compatible
 * you don't need GNU Bash anymore (configurator is now a Ruby program)
 * format handlers for .ppm, .tga, .grid rewritten in Ruby
 * merged all Makefiles together, etc.
 * sources are in base/ and format/ instead of c/src/
 * many bugs removed, many bugs added.
 * will read ~/.gridflow_startup if it exists



this version is released so that i can catch installation problems 
before i do a more serious release. *please* report any such problems to
me, by chat or email or the jMax mailinglist.
