Today I released version 2.0 of the best known IRC framework for Ruby, introducing a lot of nice new features and API improvements. Changelog and migration guide (for older users) can be found at http://bit.ly/GLoXVP and http://bit.ly/GO4qkW respectively.

We have just released version 1.1.2 of Cinch, the IRC bot building framework. The 1.1.2 release fixes a bunch of small bugs. Check out the project on GitHub

Seeing that nobody has yet written a wrapper around dmenu, I took up on that (fairly easy) task! Check out dmenu-ruby@github for more information.

Inspired by Isaac and Cinch but disappointed by the lack of abstraction, I wrote Newton, a fully OO but yet lightweight bot framework. Check it out!
