Hi, We just released version 0.3.1 of Raggle. Raggle is a console RSS aggregator, written in Ruby. Features include customizable keybindings, basic console HTML rendering, HTTP authentication and proxy support, OPML import/export, themes, support for various versions of RSS, Screen support. browser auto-detection, and more. This release of Raggle also includes a preliminary template-based web interface (via WEBrick) and Win32 support. Changes Since 0.3.0: - documentation updates, added Table of Contents and FAQ - browser\_cmd config check (if we’re upgrading from a pre-0.3 version of Raggle, warn about an incompatible version of this directive) - –import-opml takes a URL now (suggested by Doug Kearns) - applied action\_insert\_link\_ref patch submitted by Ralf Hortsmann - fix thread reap error reported by Grant Bowman (a complete list of changes is available at the URL below) URLs: Web Site: [http://www.raggle.org/](http://www.raggle.org/) RSS Feed: [http://www.raggle.org/rss/](http://www.raggle.org/rss/) Download: [http://www.raggle.org/files/raggle-0.3.1.tar.gz](http://www.raggle.org/files/raggle-0.3.1.tar.gz) Signature: [http://www.raggle.org/files/raggle-0.3.1.tar.gz.asc](http://www.raggle.org/files/raggle-0.3.1.tar.gz.asc) ChangeLog: [http://www.raggle.org/files/ChangeLog-0.3.1](http://www.raggle.org/files/ChangeLog-0.3.1) Comments, questions, and feature requests are always welcome, and should be directed at either me personally, or the Raggle mailing list ([raggle-dev@raggle.org](mailto:raggle-dev@raggle.org)). > **···** > > – > Paul Duncan [pabs@pablotron.org](mailto:pabs@pablotron.org) pabs in #ruby-lang (OPN IRC) > [http://www.pablotron.org/](http://www.pablotron.org/) OpenPGP Key ID: 0x82C29562 ---

Any chance of making it available as a gem?

Longer answer: I’ve been asked to create an install.rb for raa-install as well. Do we have a standard install format or are the three I’m aware of still battling it out? It looks like they are. Either way, it’s been added to the TODO; I’ll see if I can get a gemspec in there sometime this week. > **···** > > - Gavin Sinclair (gsinclair@soyabean.com.au) wrote: > > > On Sunday, April 18, 2004, 3:33:52 AM, Paul wrote: > > > Cheers, > > Gavin > > – > Paul Duncan [pabs@pablotron.org](mailto:pabs@pablotron.org) pabs in #ruby-lang (OPN IRC) > [http://www.pablotron.org/](http://www.pablotron.org/) OpenPGP Key ID: 0x82C29562 ---
