FreeRIDE 0.9.6 - The Free Ruby IDE

Version 0.9.6 of FreeRIDE has been released and is available
for download!

For details and downloads, go to:

      http://freeride.rubyfo
rge.org/

0.9.6 is mostly a bug fix release. The goal was to make
FreeRIDE more
robust and to fix some annoying bugs reported by the users.
This
includes changes to the debugger, IRB, project manager,
etc... See the
Changelog for details.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**
Due to some changes in the FreeRIDE property files users may
experience
crash at startup time. If this is so delete the directory
%USERPROFILE%\freeride (on Windows) or $HOME/.freeride on
Linux before
starting FreeRIDE again.


=== FreeRIDE Overview ===

FreeRIDE aims to be a full-featured, first-class IDE on a
par with
those available for other languages, with all the
best-of-breed
features that you would expect in a high-end IDE.

Some of FreeRIDE's features include:

* Multi-file editing
* Syntax highlighting
* Auto-indenting
* Code Folding
* Code Templates
* Source navigation by module, class, method, etc.
* Integrated Ruby Documentation
* Integrated debugging
* Written in Ruby for easy extension

Some planned features include:
* Full internationalization
* High-end refactoring support
* Remote pair programming

In its current state, FreeRIDE cannot yet be called a real
IDE
although it is already being used by many Ruby developers.
What
is does have is a stable infrastructure with all the working
plumbing
needed for the hordes of anxious Ruby developers that want
to create
plugins to extend the functionality of FreeRIDE. The
FreeRIDE team
will be working on such FreeRIDE plugins that we will
individually
release to incrementally improve the FreeRIDE system.
Periodically we
will rollup these added plugins into new releases of
FreeRIDE.

Even if you have not officially joined the FreeRIDE team you
can still
create plugins for you own use, share them with others, or
send them
to us and we will make them available for download from our
project
wiki. We may even ask for your permission to include them in
the
FreeRIDE core distribution.

** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Any help you can provide in testing FreeRIDE, qualifying
bugs and (why
not) fixing them is really what we need most, especially on
Windows
where FreeRIDE seems to be less robust than on Linux.
