Hi, I'm annoucing the release of ruby-gdchart, a ruby gem wrapper
around the GDChart C library written by Bruce Verderaime
(http://www.fred.net/brv/chart/) that builds on previous work done by
Arjen Laarhoven and Takehiro Yonekura. Please see
http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-gdchart/ for more information.

Hi,

What have you changed?

here's more infomation in the README, but basically I've:

Upgraded the gdchart library being used to 0.11.5dev.

Changed some of the old attribute names to be more in line with ruby
standards (like ExtColor -> ext_color) while adding aliases for
backwards compatibility.

Added some constant definitions that were lacking in the previous
release that seemed rather critical to me (like NOVALUE).

Packaged the whole thing up as a gem.

My GDChart bindings(*) can be used with 0.11.5dev or other
versions because they use SWIG to generate C code. And mine
have more Rubyish API rather than yours. The API is similar
to PyGDChart2's one.

The point wasn't just to make them "more Rubyish," but also to make it
easy to use as a gem, as well as to fix several bugs.

Some people were having trouble with the Gem that I uploaded to
rubyforge. It was built in a Cygwin environment, and for whatever
reason didn't seem to work correctly on *nix systems. I've uploaded a
new Gem that was built in Gentoo Linux, and seems to work correctly.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
