Ruby/FLTK 0.9.6 , 2007-01-09 http://ruby-fltk.sourceforge.net/ "Graphical functions of FLTK for make benefit glorious language of Ruby" What is this?: Ruby/FLTK is a Ruby binding for the FLTK (Fast, Light Toolkit) GUI library. Headlines!: - Having languished somewhat in late 2006, Ruby/FLTK returns with a fat ChangeLog in 2007. - A new class FLTK::Spinner (if your FLTK version is >= 1.1.7). - All of FLTK's enumeration values and constant macros are bound to Ruby constants (with a few justifiable exceptions). - Several new FLTK class methods (see ChangeLog). - Convenience I: if FLTK.color receives a block it yields and then restores the original color. - Convenience II: you can invoke #{rectf,rect,push_clip,pop_clip} on widget objects and the boundary of the widget will be used as the rectangle. - FLTK.{choice,input,password} sprintf their arguments in the same way as their counterparts in FLTK (NB: FLTK.{message,alert,ask} already did this). - New non-sprintf-ing methods FLTK.{message0,alert0,ask0,choice0,input0,password0} (NB: you should switch to these methods if you did not realise that their cousins call sprintf, as it will fix subtle bugs that appear when the argument contains a'%' ). - Big cleanup of tests and sample scripts, plus a few additions. Details are in the Release Notes and the ChangeLog. The focus for version 0.9.7 will be: * Push towards full coverage of FLTK's global functions and Fl::* methods. * Any suggestions?

I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. -- Charles Babbage |
