Latest FOX release: what ver. #; how to get it/install it?

[Richard Lionheart]

Hi,

I've seen some references to Fox 1.2. But the comments have led me to
believe it has not yet been released.

In my Fox folder on Windows 2000Pro, I:\Program
Files\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\fox, the version.rb file defines
fxrubyversion which returns "1.0.25".

Am I correct that 1.0.25 is the current production version? If not, what
is, where do I get it, and is there anymore involved than unziping it to
replace the contents of the folder cited above?

Finally, is there a better way to ascertain the latest version other than
posting a question like this?

Regards,
Richard

Hi Lyle,

Thanks again for such a comprehensive answer. I save them in my RubyNotes
file.

I'm still chewing on your explanation of Ruby/FXRuby's object models,
especially the comment about users mistakenly adding new icons within a loop
rather than using a single instance. When I've thought about it enough,
I'll post my appreciation for your explanation ... or my contrary view,
despite my limited experience with Ruby, etc. I guess they call that hubris

Richard
