[ANN] Ruby-GNOME2 2.2.0

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2

Hi,

The Ruby-GNOME2 project released Ruby-GNOME2 2.2.0:
The source of https://ruby-gnome.github.io/ | ruby-gnome.github.io

It is a release that Ruby/GIO2 is migrated to
Ruby/GObjectIntrospection based bindings. This means that
you can use full GIO features. :slight_smile:

Some API changes in Ruby/GIO2 are expected but unexpected
API changes may exist. If you find API change, please report
it. If the API change provides non Rubyish API, it will be a
bug.
