= Version 1.0.0 (2006-09-16)

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.

easier testing and maintenance via a Rakefile.

    Rakefile.

    been fixed.

    directory is read.

  • WMII.write is now more tolerant of data passed to it (#to_s).
