I am pleased to announce the latest release of FXRuby, the Ruby language bindings for the FOX GUI toolkit. FOX is a C++-based toolkit for developing graphical user interfaces easily and effectively. It offers a wide, and growing, collection of widgets, and provides state-of-the-art facilities such as drag-and-drop, selection, as well as OpenGL widgets for 3-D graphical manipulation. FOX also implements icons, images, and user-convenience features such as status line help and tooltips.

Please see the comments on the home page concerning any problems with this release, or the change log:
