Text::Hyphen is a Ruby library to hyphenate words in various languages using Ruby-fied versions of TeX hyphenation patterns. It will properly hyphenate various words according to the rules of the language the word is written in. The algorithm is based on that of the TeX typesetting system by Donald E. Knuth. This is originally based on the Perl implementation of [TeX::Hyphen][] and the [Ruby port][]. The language hyphenation pattern files are based on the sources available from [CTAN][] as of 2004.12.19 and have been manually translated by Austin Ziegler. This is a small feature release adding Russian language support and fixing a bug in the custom hyphen support introduced last version. This release provides both Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9.2 support (but please read below). In short, Ruby 1.8 support is deprecated and I will not be providing any bug fixes related to Ruby 1.8. New features will be developed and tested against Ruby 1.9 only.

ImageScience is a clean and happy Ruby library that generates thumbnails -- and kicks the living crap out of RMagick. Oh, and it doesn't leak memory like a sieve. :) For more information including build steps, see http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/

autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the corresponding dependent tests. minitest-autotest is the latest incarnation of the venerable and wise autotest. This time, it talks to minitest via minitest-server. As a result, there is no output parsing. There are no regexps to tweak. There's no cruft or overhead.

RinRuby is a Ruby library that integrates the R interpreter in Ruby, making R's statistical routines and graphics available within Ruby. The library consists of a single Ruby script that is simple to install and does not require any special compilation or installation of R. Since the library is 100% pure Ruby, it works on a variety of operating systems, Ruby implementations, and versions of R. RinRuby's methods are simple, making for readable code. The {website [rinruby.ddahl.org]}[http://rinruby.ddahl.org] describes RinRuby usage, provides comprehensive documentation, gives several examples, and discusses RinRuby's implementation.
