I take my second weekend in a row (mostly) off of a computer, and look at all the cool things happening!
Adobe releases
AIR (previously known as Apollo) and
Flex 3 public beta, both products have been on my list of things to do for quite some time, still with no action taken.
Ruby (
MRI)
released bug fixes in version 1.8.6.
JRuby officially went 1.0 (though it has yet to be posted to the website as I write this). And
Ruby.NET released version 0.8 (IronRuby uses its scanner and parser, according to the article -- and this happened a couple of days before the weekend).
For web developers,
InfoQ let us know about
Browser Shots, which is a service that will test your web sites in tons of different browsers and present screen shots to you. It lets you choose whether to enable Flash, Javascript, or certain media players, and allows you to set the color depth and screen resolution. It's quite slow at the moment (set it and come back in four hours or so), but it shows us what can be possible! (
Screenshots of codeodor.com, as they are coming in more will pop up)
Also,
InfoQ completed its first official year. It was "pre-released" (I forget the exact term they used) I think in May 2006, but it went officially live a year ago Friday. Congrats to Floyd Marinescu and the entire InfoQrue! (And they have a lot of relevant news (to me) I'll be posting links to today)
