= Version 1.1.0 (2006-09-30)

Ruby-IXP is an implementation of the 9P2000 protocol designed for
use with Window Manager Improved. It is written in pure Ruby to
avoid periodical calling of the wmiir command, thus improving
performance. There is another full-blown 9P2000 implementation
called Rstyx, but it's rather complex and slow.

== Summary

This release fixes several concurrency issues, revises the code and
documentation, and adds some convenience methods.


== Acknowledgments

* Thanks to Oliver Heins for testing the concurrency issues.


== Notice

* {wmii-3.1 must be
patched}[http://wmii.de/pipermail/wmii/2006-September/002718.html]
before this release is used.


== Details

* IXP::Client#read and IXP::Client#write convenience methods have
been added.

* IXP::Client#open now accepts mode strings, just like Ruby's IO:pen.

* IXP::Connection has been simplified by removing special handling
for wmii-3.1's weird behavior of sending ghost responses after the
initial request had been completed.

* lib/ixp/client.rb has been cleaned up and documented.

* Several {concurrency
issues}[http://wmii.de/pipermail/wmii/2006-September/002745.html]
have been fixed in IXP::Connection.
