            for the image has already been released would cause a program to crash

            The documentation for <methodname>getPixel</methodname> has been

            <para>The <methodname>makePositionVisible</methodname> method for the

            click in a table area outside of the regular cells (which indirectly
            triggers a call to <methodname>makePositionVisible</methodname>). This
            was actually inconsistent with standard FOX behavior, which simply
            ignores out of bounds values for that method's arguments. This bug has
            been fixed, and the documentation for
            <methodname>makePositionVisible</methodname> has been updated
            accordingly. Thanks to Ralf Jonas for reporting this problem.</para>

        <title>Changes For Version 1.2.4 (February 23, 2005)</title>
    
        <itemizedlist mark="bullet">
          <listitem>
            <para>Due to a change in some of the internal Ruby C APIs, a
            compile-time error for FXRuby was introduced in some of the Ruby 1.8.2
            preview releases (see <ulink

            Bug #1039</ulink>). One should not see any compile-time errors when
            compiling FXRuby (versions 1.2.3 or later) against the Ruby 1.8.2
            final release, but I've neverthless made a change to how those
            internal APIs are used, to avoid any potential problems. Thanks to the
            many users who pointed out this problem.</para>

            <para>One change for the <classname>FXImage</classname> class between
            FOX versions 1.0 and 1.2 is the nature of the pixel buffer that's
            passed to the <classname>FXImage</classname> constructor. Previously,
            this pixel buffer was expected to be a string of bytes; now it's
            expected to be an array of <type>FXColor</type> values. This
            modification was not implemented correctly for FXRuby versions 1.2.3
            and earlier (see <ulink
            url="http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1427&amp;group_id=300&amp;atid=1223">RubyForge
            Bug #1427</ulink>). This bug has been corrected, and the example
            program (<filename>image.rb</filename>) and test cases have been
            updated as well. Thanks to Oliver Smith and others for reporting this
            problem.</para>

          <listitem>
            <para>A couple of different problems, reported by Patrick Fernie and
            David Peoples, exposed a flaw in how FXRuby manages the links between
            FOX objects and their Ruby peers when the FOX objects are destroyed
            (see <ulink
            url="http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1445&amp;group_id=300&amp;atid=1223">RubyForge
            Bug #1445</ulink>). Without going into all the gory details, let's
            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
            these problems.</para>

        <itemizedlist mark="bullet">
          <listitem>
            <para>This is the second "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,

            <para>For this release, all of the FOX 1.2 classes are available with
            the exception of the <classname>FXBitmapView</classname> class. There
            is a small problem with how the <classname>FXBitmapView</classname>
            class is declared in the FOX 1.2 header files, and I'm trying to
            decide how best to resolve that problem. The goal is to have this
            problem resolved by the next alpha release of FXRuby.</para>

        <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>
