Subject: [ANN] rubyzip-0.5.0

Just wanted to let you know that I have released a new version of
rubyzip that works with the latest versions of ruby and ruby-zlib.

There are also some other goodies like bug fixes and a new interface
for accessing and manipulating zip archives based on an API similar to
::Dir and ::File using ZipFile::dir and ZipFile::file.


In this release I have also changed the method namimg conventions from
camelCase to ruby_style.

Home: http://rubyzip.sourceforge.net

Cheers,

Thomas


####### Example of the new ::Dir,::File inspired Zip api

# Instead of invoking methods on Dir and File you
# simply invoke them on zipFileInstance.dir and zipFileInstance.file

require 'zip/zipfilesystem'

Zip::ZipFile.open("myArchive.zip", Zip::ZipFile::CREATE) {
  |zipFile|
  
  zipFile.file.open("file.txt", "w") { |os| os.puts "Stuff 1"
  }
  
  zipFile.dir.mkdir "someDir"
  zipFile.dir.chdir "someDir"
  
  zipFile.file.open("file.txt", "w") { |os| os.puts "Stuff 2" }
  zipFile.file.open("file2.txt", "w") { |os| os.puts "Stuff 3" }

  puts "file.txt: #{zipFile.file.read('../file.txt')}"
  puts "someDir/file.txt: #{zipFile.file.read('file.txt')}"

  puts "\nzip contents:"
  puts zipFile.entries.join("\n")

   puts "\nCurrent dir entries:"
  puts zipFile.dir.entries('.').join("\n")
}
