The wxRuby team is pleased to invite you to try the latest version of
wxRuby, 1.9.4. [ http://wxruby.rubyforge.org ]

wxRuby 1.9.4 now supports almost all of the wxWidgets 2.8 API, and is 
near production quality in terms of stability.

== MINIMAL EXAMPLE ==

require 'wx'
Wx::App.run do
   frame  = Wx::Frame.new(nil, :title => "Minimal wxRuby App")
   button = Wx::Button.new(frame, :label => 'Press me')
   evt_button(button) { puts 'Clicked!' }
   frame.show
end

== WHAT'S NEW ==

Thanks to a number of contributors, this is a feature-packed release;
key changes include:

* Added GraphicsContext, MediaCtrl, GLCanvas
* Drag'n'drop and Clipboard support
* Other minor additions, including SearchCtrl and GridTableBase
* Support for universal binaries on OS X, and dynamic linking on Linux
* Support for building with ruby 1.9
* Many bugfixes and enhancements to existing classes
* Additions to the samples and documentation

== INSTALLATION ==

As usual, the easiest way to get wxRuby is to install an all-in-one
precompiled rubygem:

gem install wxruby

Gems are currently available for Microsoft Windows, OS X 10.4/10.5 
universal and Linux i686.

== THANKS ==

Thank you very much to everyone who helped with this release with
patches, bug reports and suggestions and discussions on the mailing
lists. Contributors to the 1.9.3 code include Sean Long, Mario Steele,
Albin Holmgren, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Dale Edmons

cheers
