just say that since we have no explicit control over when Ruby's
garbage collector decides to "collect" those Ruby peers that point to
C++ objects that have been destroyed, we need to take steps to
neutralize those Ruby peer objects so that they can't cause your
application to crash in the meantime; I've implemented a fix to take
care of this situation. Thanks to Patrick and David for reporting

<title>Changes For Version 1.2a1 (June 28, 2004)</title>
<itemizedlist mark="bullet">
<listitem>
<para>This is the first "alpha" release of FXRuby 1.2. This release
should be compatible with any FOX library version 1.2; it is not
compatible with any previous FOX library versions. As this is an alpha
release, users should expect a certain amount of instability, bugs,
etc.</para>
<para>The intent of this first alpha release is twofold. The primary
intent is allow application developers who have current projects based
on FXRuby 1.0 to begin the process of updating their applications for
compatibility with FXRuby 1.2. For this release, all of the classes
that existed in FXRuby 1.0 have been updated for compatibility with
FOX 1.2, and so developers should at least be able to begin to "port"
their applications forward now. Note that there have been a number of
changes for FOX 1.2 and FXRuby 1.2, both in terms of API changes and
less obvious "behavioral" changes. For a detailed summary of these
changes, please see <ulink
url="http://www.knology.net/~lyle/fox/1.2/WhatsNew.html">"What's New
in FOX 1.2"</ulink> (also available as a <ulink
url="http://www.knology.net/~lyle/fox/1.2/WhatsNew.pdf">PDF</ulink>).
Note that few, if any, of the new classes introduced in FOX 1.2 are
available in this first alpha release of FXRuby 1.2. Support for those
new classes should come along quickly in subsequent alpha releases of
FXRuby 1.2.</para>
<para>The secondary intent of this first alpha release is to introduce
the new <ulink
url="http://rubygems.rubyforge.org">RubyGems</ulink>-based packaging
of FXRuby and to begin to work out the inevitable kinks in that
system.</para>
