At this time, I am pleased to announce the release of RubyLexer 0.6.0, a standalone lexer of ruby in ruby. RubyLexer attempts to completely and correctly tokenize all valid ruby 1.8 source code, and it mostly succeeds. In time, RubyLexer will be able to lex all ruby code. For now, some newer features are unsupported and there are some extremely obscure bugs involving strings, but all real world ruby code should be supported. It is my hope to provide a high-quality lexer for all those language tools which require one. RubyLexer is hosted on RubyForge (http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubylexer/). Here's where to get the tarball: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/4191/rubylexer-0.6.0.tar.bz2
