Summary: FXRuby 1.4.7 and 1.6.2
Project: FXRuby
FXRuby versions 1.4.7 and 1.6.2 are now available for download from this page:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=300&release_id=6924
Note that you should be using FOX 1.6.5 or later due to some important changes made in that release of FOX. Also note that due to a bug in RubyGems 0.9.0, building from the source gem isn't advised unless you're able to download to an earlier version of RubyGems. (This bug doesn't affect binary gems.) And as long as you're noting those two things, you should also note that due to a bug introduced in Ruby 1.8.5, a large number of warning messages will be printed to the console when you load FXRuby (any version) into Ruby 1.8.5. This problem is described here:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=5633&group_id=300&atid=1223
Due to this problem with FXRuby under Ruby 1.8.5, the downloads page offers builds for both Ruby versions 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 on Windows.
For a summary of the changes in this release of FXRuby, please see this page:
http://www.fxruby.org/doc/changes.html
As usual, the code is provided as a Win32 installer or a binary Gem (both compatible with the latest One-Click Installer for Ruby 1.8.4/1.8.5), as a source gem, and as a source tarball. For instructions on compiling FXRuby from source, please see:
http://www.fxruby.org/doc/build.html
And as always, the FXRuby home page is here:

Enjoy,
