[ANN] win32-clipboard 0.4.0

Hi all,

The Win32Utils team is happy to announce the release of win32-clipboard
0.4.0.

What's new?
===========
This release replaces the C code with a pure Ruby version that uses the
Win32API package. It also adds a gemspec, and a gem on RubyForge.

That means that you can now do: gem install win32-clipboard.

Why?
====
This was a small package that was easy to convert.
There's a bug in gems wrt nested module/classes and C extensions.
Compiler issues, especially with the latest one click installer, were
proving to be too annoying.

What about the other Win32Utils packages?
=========================================
Some will be converted. Some will not, at least not for a while. Keep
an eye out.

Regards,

The Win32Utils Team

Works great with cygwin! :)

Just noticed a little bug in the documentation:
In the README file, chapter synopis

puts "Setting data to 'foobar'"
Clipboard.data = "foobar"

does not work. Instead it should say

puts "Setting data to 'foobar'"
Clipboard.set_data("foobar")

which does work. Thanks a lot for this gem.


Cheers,

- Steph.

Oops, thanks. Fixed in CVS.
