Ruby-GNOME 2: ruby-gnome2 ruby-gnome2-2.2.1 Released

This is a set of bindings for the GNOME-2.x and GNOME-3.x libraries to
use from Ruby 1.9.x, 2.0.0 and 2.1.

It is a release that Ruby/GDK3 is migrated to
Ruby/GObjectIntrospection based bindings.

Some API changes in Ruby/GDK3 are expected but unexpected API
changes may exist. If you find API change, please report it. If the
API change provides non Rubyish API, it will be a bug.

Ruby/GooCanvas is removed because we can't maintain it.
