Re: GTK+ 2.6.1 released

[Archit Baweja <bighead users sourceforge net>]

Hi

Ok this is more of a personal 'itch'. But it would be really nice to
mention that there is Ruby and Ruby bindings for Gtk+ and friends for
RAD (with good English Documentation).

As you would have probably guessed, I use ruby too. And I just feel that
giving some attention to ruby, since its becoming popular too, would be
nice. I always find announcements for core Gtk+ and Gnome libraries
mentioning python bindings and not ruby bindings.

Thanks
Archit
