Re: + on our way to shoes 3
In Pittsburgh, I also had a chat with Seth Rasmussen about Shoes and we kicked around an idea for having an extension library that would make it a bit easier for people to bring in native controls (grids, trees, systray, etc.) into Shoes without needing my approval. I really like that idea and, yeah, could use some help with it. That would be great. On a related matter If there was a a dev mode or something where shoes would reload the code you are working on when you press a key combination or a button it would make developing on shoes a lot more fun. Thanks in advance.

Re: + on our way to shoes 3
Hi _why et al, Will the next shoes ship with bloopsaphone? It would be very nifty if it did. :) Definitely, it's already so in the master branch. _why Cool! And snapshot function, too? ;-) I'm really curious about Shoes 3. Thanks, ashbb
Re: + on our way to shoes 3
I would have thought the rubygems support and native extensions support already included in shoes would have been sufficient. What else is needed? Will the next shoes ship with bloopsaphone? It would be very nifty if it did. :) Good luck with the bug fixings and the Hackety Hacking. I'm sure we're all looking forward to having a go with the new shoesian hackety hack. :) On 12/03/2009, at 3:27 PM, _why wrote: Okay, thanks for sitting tight everybody. I'm back from ART CODE and, while I'm still working on Hackety Hack, I hope to return to working on Shoes 3 in a week or so. The idea is to put it out in a few weeks. The biggest part is that we'll be moving to Ruby 1.9, VLC 1.9, and newer versions of Cairo and Pango. Also, all of Tim Elliott's great work on Windows will be merged. I've got some Vista fixes to work out as well. The release after this one will focus on speed. Basically making the retained graphics operate on an immediate surface.
