[Fxruby-announce] ANNOUNCE: FXRuby-0.99.180 Now Available

[Lyle J. <ljo...@re...>]

The latest release of FXRuby, the Ruby language bindings for FOX, are now
available for download from the FXRuby home page:

	http://fxruby.sf.net

A complete list of changes is available at the home page, but the most
significant is a revamped approach to assigning message handlers for
widgets. Instead of the tedious process of generating new message
identifiers, setting up a message map, etc. you can now simply attach a code
block to a widget, e.g.

	aButton = FXButton.new(parent, "Push Me!")
	aButton.connect(SEL_COMMAND) { |sender, sel, ptr|
		puts "Color me pushed"
	}

This approach is much more compact and Ruby-ish, especially for quick little
button-press handlers and the like. This system is built on top of the old
one and so it's completely back-compatible when you need the added
flexibility of the old approach. For more information, see the FXRuby user's
guide.

Enjoy!
