Version 0.2.0 of emdrb, an implementation of distributed Ruby using the EventMachine library, has been released. This release adds DRb client capabilities to the library. In addition to the traditional way of performing method calls with a DRbObject, emdrb also supports performing asynchronous method calls, with a send_async method that returns an EventMachine Deferrable, to which callbacks can be attached when the called DRb server gives its final response.

The API has been streamlined yet further, making it as precisely identical to standard DRb as possible.
