The first preview release of wxRuby2 is now available as source and binary gems for all major platforms. wxRuby brings wxWidgets, a mature, cross-platform GUI toolkit to Ruby. It uses native widgets to give users the GUI look, feel and behaviour they expect on their OS.

wxRuby2 is a complete rewrite of wxRuby; new features include:


* based on wxWidgets 2.6, giving vastly improved appearance on OS X and Linux
* support for many new windows, controls and widgets
* more complete API coverage within classes
* unicode (UTF-8) support for creating multilingual apps
* uses exceptions rather than segfaults to warn you about incorrect usage ;)
* downloadable Ruby-specific documentation
* easier to extend and add support for more wxWidgets classes, by using SWIG
* simpler and more permissive licence
* binary gems for all major platforms
