Subject: [ANN] Copland 0.3.0 "Canticle of Freedom"

Copland is an IoC container for Ruby, similar to Hivemind in implementation.

This latest release (0.3.0) includes better thread support, with a new 
interceptor that you can use to make your non-thread-safe classes 
thread-safe: the SynchronizingInterceptor. Internally, Copland now uses 
mutexes strategically to improve it's own thread-safety.

Version 0.3.0 also adds support for configuring the built-in logging
infrastructure, improves the granularity of interceptors (so you can 
specify that only certain methods should be intercepted), and adds two 
new services to enable remote access to your own services via either 
dRuby or SOAP.

The documentation has been completely reworked. There is now a "Copland 
Manual", avaialble at http://copland.rubyforge.org, which will hopefully 
give a better overview of IoC, as well as of Copland itself. I've tried 
to incorporate the suggestions I've recieved, so any feedback on how 
useful (or not useful) the new documentation is would be wonderful.

It is available as a gem (and will hopefully be remote-installable in 
the near future--just a matter of giving Chad time to update the gem 
repository). Simply type:

   gem --remote-install copland

You can download either the gem, or the .tar.gz source package (which 
includes a setup.rb script) from the Copland RubyForge page, at

   http://rubyforge.org/projects/copland

The mailing lists, forums, bug tracker, and feature request tracker are 
all active on Copland's RubyForge project, so feel free to make use of them.

Enjoy!
