Ruby.NET version 0.9 has been released

Ruby.NET version 0.9 is the first release under the new open source community model.

Ruby.NET is a compiler that translates Ruby source code into .NET intermediate code. This allows components implemented using the Ruby language to:

• Natively execute on the .NET platform
• Be linked with third party components developed using other .NET languages such as C#.
• Utilize the extensive resources of the .NET platform including visual design and debugging tools, the security framework and an extensive collection of class libraries used, for example, to create Windows forms, web and database applications.
