Hello,
Release 0.5.0 fixes a bug where reading unusual frames could result in a NoMethodError. A memory leak in id3lib-ruby itself was detected and fixed. More installation instructions were added, they are now in the INSTALL file.
Get it through RubyGems or from:
http://id3lib-ruby.rubyforge.org/
== Description
id3lib-ruby provides a Ruby interface to the id3lib C++ library for easily editing ID3 tags (v1 and v2) like with pyid3lib.
== Changes
=== 0.5.0 (2006-12-16)
* Warn when encountering nil field instead of raising exception (bug 6446).
* Corrected allowed fields - they are now generated from id3lib's source.
* Renamed :id field to :identifier because of confusion with frame ID.
* Added INSTALL document for installation instructions.
* Fixed memory leak in extension, where iterator was never released.
According to tests, there is no memory leak anymore.
* Added two patches for id3lib in mswin32 gem:
* unicode16: fixes Unicode writing bug
* convert_i-leak: fixes memory leak in Unicode conversion function
* Updated to SWIG 1.3.31.
=== 0.4.1 (r53)
* Added :description to the allowed fields of :TXXX frames (patch 5484).
* Added more tests and a warning in README for writing of UTF-16 frames.
Cheers,
Robin Stocker
