Sweet.  That kicks ass.




Question:  How much has the overall API changed?  Hal Fulton's new 
release of The Ruby Way, 2nd ed. has a section on Nitro (written by me, 
as it happens).  It is, I think, the only book that covers Nitro or Og 
in any depth.   I hoping that this Nitro release still plays well with 
the information in that section, for people reading the book and getting 
their interest piqued.
