  • Twibot: A microframework for Twitter bots in Ruby - I don't really approve of calling every darned library a "framework," but this looks useful anyhow.

  • rspec-1.2, rspec-rails-1.2 (and rails-2.3) - Also on the upgrade front, rspec users need a new version to go with new Rails.

  • Ubuntu Server on Amazon - Beta programme now open - More for the cloud computing fan.
