Thanks for that update, Roy. I'm not a C-level programmer, so probably would not compile source code, myself. If you do release a Windows binary, however, I'll try to provide feedback. I really like WxWidgets, and hope that I will eventually get good enough with it and Ruby to develop cross platform applications. As you probably know, but perhaps not others interested, a free PDF book has become available about the library. It is the most authoritative book on the subject, authored by some of the primary developers.

We are currently trying to work around some issues with Swig which may or may not require waiting for the next release of Swig. The project is actually pretty close except for the major glaring holes that the Swig changes will fix. There's no gem of wxRuby2 yet so you have to build it from the source. We have been tossing around the idea of an alpha or beta release sometime soon so that we can stir up some community interest and get the feedback we need to push on to a release.
