[wmii] [ANN] Ruby-IXP 1.0.2

= Version 1.0.2 (2006-09-18)

  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.

== Details

* IXP::Connection has been completely rewritten to follow a
  coffee-shop system metaphor.

  * More race conditions have been fixed and overall stability
    seems rock solid.

* Support for buffering, in case of dynamically updating files such
  as "/event", has been strengthened.
