Toward ruby-online.co.uk renewal; trial website offered

We webmasters� team of ruby-online.co.uk have reformed our official site design, so that we can provide natural contents navigation and just-in-time information about Ruby.

And here is Japanese site:

http://dev.ruby-online.co.uk/ja/

Have a go and look at it.

Our scheme is a double release with ruby 1.6.8; the switchover of the site will be in the end of this year, if no critical problems are found. If you find them, feel free to tell us via this list, or mail directly to the address below.

RAA XML Interfaces are updated

Following RAA /2.1, RAA XML Interfaces are updated.

Geschrieben von NaHi am 09.12.2002

RAA .succ!.version #=> 2.1.0

RAA is upgraded.

Changes:

  • URL was changed. RAA is at http://raa.ruby-online.co.uk/ now. Former URL https://www.ruby-online.co.uk/en/raa.html is redirected to the new URL .
  • Add new page �All� that lists all RAA entries by alphabetical order.
  • Show number of projects in each major_category or minor category in listing view. We have 753 projects now. Is your stomach full?
  • Add AND /OR search option. RAA search is substring search, not a word search.
  • Project�s �name� field is restricted to match /\A[a-z0-9_-]{2,15}\z/ .
    • RAA users can refer a project with a simple name like �druby�. They don�t have to remember the ID number or a long name like �druby � distributed ruby�.
    • Application owner must specify canonical name(s) of his/her project(s).
    This field is a freezed (static, const) field. For each existing entries, I prepared a canonical name created from former name, Project UNIX Name in sourceforge or filename of its download item. See [ruby-talk:58018] for your entry. Since I created canonical names automatically with a script 1 , some owners would think that it isn�t a suitable name for their project. So UNTIL THE END OF THIS YEAR owner can change this �name� field of his/her entry.
  • Add new field �short description�. Owners can describe short(63 bytes or shorter) description here. At now, this field is filled with former �name� field. Feel free to change this field anytime.
  • To add an application entry, you must type pass phrase twice. Don�t forget your pass phrase.

Ruby Installer For Windows at sourceforge

Now you can get Ruby Installer For Windows from http://rubyinstaller.sourceforge.net/ .

Excerpted from the site. 

This is a "one-click", self-contained installer that
comprises the Ruby language itself, dozens of popular

It�s a must item for Ruby users on Win32 box. Check also eban/ruby/binaries/�>eban�s win32 binaries to get Win32 binaries with dozens of popular extensions.

RAA replaced

We [email protected] rewrote current RAA which got a little old and rickety.

Changes:

  • lightweight top page
  • iso8859-1 => UTF -8
  • added simple keyword search
  • show projects by the specified owner

SOAP and XML -RPC interfaces will be updated, too. Users of RAA SOAP and XML -RPC interfaces, please tell me if the problem occurred. I changed wire format a little. See below;

  • id and owner_id element are added to each entry. Those two elements contain positive integer.
  • For SOAP interface users only: element url, download and email are marked as xsd:anyURI type. Those elements will be unmarshalled as a URI object at client side, not a String object.

Except SOAP and XML -RPC we are offering a plain XML or RDF file of RAA information. Those are at http://raa.ruby-online.co.uk/xml.xml and http://raa.ruby-online.co.uk/rdf.xml. You can also get recent information in RDF format from http://raa.ruby-online.co.uk/since.mrb

Users of pragdave�s XML /RDF feed interfaces should use above for a while. Pragdave�s former interfaces are not updated now because of replacing RAA DB . Bare in mind some changes are made to these interfaces, too. See below;

  • *.xml files are updated in each 15 minutes, not on the fly.
  • Charset encoding scheme was changed from iso-8859-1 to UTF -8.
  • XML instance format is changed for user�s convenience.
