The MacRuby source code repository is moving to GitHub!

MacRuby has been developed inside a Subversion repository since its inception, but we think that now is the time to switch to Git, and GitHub is the best place to do it.

MacRuby’s source code is now available from https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby. You will also find the source code of this website and the Control Tower project under the same organization.

Only the source code repository has moved, the rest of the infrastructure, such as nightly builds or Trac tickets, hasn’t changed.

The development of MacRuby now continues on GitHub. The previous Subversion repository has been emptied, and will not be updated.

We hope that, by being on GitHub, developers will be able to contribute changes to the project more easily, and that we will be able to reach our 1.0 milestone more gracefully.

We are glad to announce the release of MacRuby 0.10, after just a few weeks of development since the last release.

This release brings support for new MacBook Pro hardware (Sandy Bridge processors), App Store submission fixes, and Xcode4 integration. Users of MacRuby are encouraged to upgrade.

You can download it from here. Please note that this package only works on Intel 64-bit machines running Snow Leopard (10.6) or later. Older Mac OS X versions are no longer supported. Intel 32-bit machines can be supported by manually building MacRuby from the sources.

Please give it a try and let us know of any problems you find!

The release notes are available.

Converging for 1.0

We are currently converting towards a first stable release of MacRuby, 1.0. We intend to deliver frequent releases until we reach that goal.

We do not expect further releases to include significant features, as we are now focusing on stability and compatibility issues.

We are glad to announce the release of MacRuby 0.9, after about two months of development since the last release.

This is yet another release focused on stability, compatibility and performance improvements. Users of MacRuby are encouraged to upgrade.

You can download it from here. Please note that this package only runs on Snow Leopard (10.6) or later. Older Mac OS X versions are no longer supported.
