Since i'm writing the book in asciidoc and convert it to docbook, I can do a
simple diff of the svn revisions and post it somewhere.
I'll make sure to do that for next release and also make sure to add a link
to it in the email send from O'Reilly.
Thanks for your feedback guys.

On Thu, Ja
Matt, I don't think that there's anything more anyone could reasonably
expect you to do!
I'm now following you on Twitter so I'll catch any future
announcements that way.
A diff would be an excellent offering.

Matt,
I would really love to see a diff put up form now on if that is passible. I
have tried doing my own diffs previously with other books and the results where
pretty nasty to say the least. :-)

O'Reilly sent an email about the update yesterday (a bit late but still), I
posted an update on my blog: http://merbist.com and on twitter via @merbist
which was retweeted by @macruby not sure what more I could do ;)
Suggestions welcome tho.
I'd like to make sure people know when I push an update
I bought from O'Reilly and got an email about an update just yesterday.
I bought the electronic version, though.

Thanks, Matt; so I see. I must be one of the few people who have paid
the full price for the book, expecting O'Reilly to let me know when
updates were available, like The Pragmatic Bookshelf people do.
Apparently not!
Very helpful book nonetheless !

Note that I also updated the book to reflect the change.

Hi David,
I always thought the official tutorial on the Ruby site is pretty good:

It is also normal practice to keep non-standard ruby functionality out of core
and distribute is as a gem. That should not discourage you from using MacRuby

I guess we all have our reasons, but:
Over Obj C: succinctness + ruby std libary
Over Python: First class cocoa citizen, not a bridge
Ok, forgive me for this question as I'm not a practicing Ruby programmer but
why would Dispatch not be part of Mac Ruby?
For those wondering why I've been hanging out here for the last couple of
months it is due to the thought that Mac Ruby might become an officially
supported platform for Mac
The dispatch library was removed from the core just before the 0.8 release.
Someone is maintaining it as a gem.
I thought the dispatch library only had the Enumerable module extensions, but I
guess it had the Job class as well since I also don't have it (using a 0.9
nightly build).

I was looking at the short intro to GCD in Matt's book 'Macruby - The
Definitive Guide'
I have macruby 0.8 and I come across an immediate problem

LoadError: no such file to load -- dispatch
However, it knows about Dispatch:
