[ANN] magic/help 0.20061226.1123 released

I've just released new version of magic/help - plugin for irb
providing more intuitive
documentation access by heavy use of reflection.

magic/help lets you ask for methods located anywhere in the class hierarchy:
> help "File.sync=" # returns documentation for IO#sync=
or even ask for help on arbitrary objects:
> help { some_file_obj.sync = true }
> help some_file_obj.method(:sync=)

Changes in the release include:
* Correct handling of all cases where documentation and reflection mismatched,
including Kernel# vs Object# (where methods were declared and where
documentation
claimed they were declared frequently mismatched), SomeClass.new (most classes
do not override Class.new, but still provide documentation).
* Improvements in handling private methods, methods from modules,
unloaded methods
from loaded classes (like Time without time.rb), and many more
* A gem for the library

Full release notes for the new version:

By the way, what should I do to get my gems onto default gem repository ? :-)

Create a project at rubyforge and upload the files there.

Nice project!! Too bad I won't use it until it is a full fledged gem.

Yes, as Andre pointed out. Create a project on rubyforge. This is the
easiest way and there are a lot of benefits:

+ bug tracker (this is probably the most important imo).
+ mailing lists.
+ cvs/svn hosting if you are so inclined. (our projects use perforce
and mirror to svn)
+ public announcements with RSS feeds.
+ web space for your doco.
+ wiki full of spam :)
+ people can find your stuff since it is the first place to go to
find ruby related things.

Sad but true! But at least now if the Wiki isn't selected it doesn't
get created and spammed...

Speaking of which, if anyone has a RubyForge project and you've enabled
but are no longer using a Wiki, please go into the project admin pages
and disable it. You will reduce the entropy of the universe!

Thanks,

Tom

Ah! "spiritual materialism"!

That explains why (whilst channel surfing) I once saw Tammy Faye Bakker on a
reality show with white rapper Vanilla Ice (aka: Robert Van Winkle) , Eric
Estrada and some other has-been idiots!

Got to avoid "spiritual materialism"!
