 * Integrated the Hoe and rake-compiler extensions into the Rakefile and
   removed redundant tasks.
 * Did some work to provide support for MinGW builds.
+* The previous release of FXRuby couldn't be built from source against Ruby 1.9.1 final

+  (see RubyForge Bug #23786). This problem has been corrected.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.19 (March 6, 2009)
+
+* The previous release of FXRuby couldn't be built from source against Ruby 1.9.1 final
+  due to a change in some of the file-related utility libraries
+  (see RubyForge Bug #23786). This problem has been corrected.
+* The previous release of FXRuby couldn't be built from source against Ruby versions 1.8.5 or
+  earlier (see RubyForge Bug #23967). This problem has been corrected.
+* A change in the return value for Ruby's `instance_variables` method broke
+  some of the code related to message handling in FXRuby (see RubyForge
+  Bug #23787). This problem has been corrected.
+* The `addAccel` method for the `FXAccelTable` class
+  now accepts lambda functions (or any other objects that respond to `call`). See
+  the API documentation
+  for `FXAccelTable` for examples of how this works.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.18 (December 29, 2008)
+
+* Some users were having trouble building FXRuby on 64-bit operating systems
+  (see RubyForge Bug #23375). This problem has been corrected.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.17 (December 24, 2008)
+
+* The Ruby interpreter was generating a large number of warning messages about redefined methods
+  in the `kwargs.rb` library
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #19231 and elsewhere). This problem has been corrected.
+
+* Due to recent changes in Ruby's garbage collection algorithm, FXRuby applications could under some circumstances
+  crash for large numbers of table items
+  (see RubyForge bugs ).
+  This bug has been fixed.
+
+* The documentation for the `FXTable` class referred to the non-existent `setColumnX`
+  and `setRowY` instance methods
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #21987). These entries have been removed from the documentation.
+
+* A number of instance methods for the `FXTable` class could crash an application if they
+  were passed out-of-bounds index arguments
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #21987). These methods now raise `IndexError` when they're passed out-of-bounds
+  indexes.
+
+* Due to a change in the URL scheme for the Dilbert web site, the `dilbert.rb` example
+  program was no longer working properly
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #21538). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `lower` method for the `FXRangef` was returning
+  ´self´ instead of an `FXVec3f` instance for the range's low
+  bound
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #22488). This has been fixed.
+
+* Made a number of minor fixes for compatibility with Ruby 1.9.1.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.16 (July 3, 2008)
+
+* Historically, if you called `create` on a
+  window before its parent window was created, your application would
+  crash (see RubyForge
+  Bug #20702 and elsewhere). Now, the code should raise a
+  ´RuntimeError´ with a message indicating the
+  problem.
+
+* The message data that the `FXPicker` widget
+  sends along with its ´SEL_CHANGED´ and
+  ´SEL_COMMAND´ messages wasn't being handled
+  properly, and as a result, applications using this widget could crash
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #20780). This problem has been fixed.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.15 (June 4, 2008)
+
+* FXRuby applications could crash (with a segmentation fault) if
+  ´nil´ was passed in as the first argument to
+  `FXDialogBox.new` or
+  `FXMainWindow.new` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #14642). These methods now raise an
+  ´ArgumentError´ if ´nil´ is
+  passed as the first argument.
+
+* You should only ever construct one `FXApp`
+  object per application, but there was no protection against doing so
+  in the code (see RubyForge
+  Bug #16275). Now, `FXApp.new` will
+  raise a `RuntimeException` if an
+  `FXApp` object already exists.
+
+* The `babelfish.rb` example program, which
+  previously depended on an external web service to perform translation
+  between languages, was broken since that web service no longer exists
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #16962). The example has now been updated to use Dr. Nic's
+  Tranexp library instead.
+
+* The value of the ´MBOX_SAVE_CANCEL_DONTSAVE´
+  option (for the `FXMessageBox` class) wasn't
+  wrapped properly and was unusable (see RubyForge
+  Bug #17094). There was also no constant corresponding to the
+  ´MBOX_CLICKED_DONTSAVE´ return value. Both of these
+  problems have been fixed.
+
+* The fields for new `FXHiliteStyle` objects
+  were uninitialized and as a result sometimes gave unpredictable
+  results (see RubyForge
+  Bug #19637). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `columnHeaderFont` and
+  `rowHeaderFont` attributes for
+  `FXTable` weren't implemented properly (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #20142). This has been fixed.
+
+* Ruby 1.8.7 adds a new `first` method to
+  the `Enumerable` module, and this conflicts with
+  the existing `first` method defined in the
+  `FXWindow` base class for a number of FXRuby
+  classes which mix in `Enumerable` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #20418). This problem has been resolved.
+
+* Due to a bug in the `extconf.rb` script, the
+  build was failing for Ruby 1.9.0 (see RubyForge
+  Bug #20426). This has been fixed.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.14 (March 29, 2008)
+
+* Updated the documentation for the `FXImage`
+  class to indicate which methods call `render`
+  after they're finished, and which ones do not.
+
+* Corrected a little typo in the
+  `gembrowser.rb` example program.
+
+* Updated the `dilbert.rb` example program to
+  use the more popular-and-likely-to-be-installed Hpricot HTML
+  parser library instead of Rubyful Soup.
+
+* Re-added the documentation for the
+  ´TOGGLEBUTTON_KEEPSTATE´ option, which had
+  mysteriously disappeared (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2286).
+
+* Made a number of minor fixes to support building FXRuby against
+  Ruby 1.9.
+
+* Added a binary gem for OS X. This works with the Ruby that's
+  included with OS X (Leopard).
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.32 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.13 (November 9, 2007)
+
+* Calls to the `extractText` method for the
+  `FXTable` class were causing various
+  memory-related errors on certain platforms (see RubyForge
+  Bug #15444). This problem has been fixed.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.28 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.12 (October 19, 2007)
+
+* The API documentation for `FXMDIClient`
+  referred to the non-existent instance method
+  `activeChild=` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #10259). This method has been added.
+
+* The API documentation for `FXMDIClient`
+  also referred to the non-existent instance methods
+  `getMDIChildFirst` and
+  `getMDIChildLast`. These entries have been
+  removed.
+
+* The API documentation for `FXMDIChild`
+  referred to non-existent instance methods
+  `getMDINext` and
+  `getMDIPrev` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #10436). The documentation has been corrected.
+
+* Added the ´:repeat´ parameter for the
+  `addChore` and
+  `addTimeout` methods. See the documentation for
+  more details, and `gltest.rb` for an example of its
+  use.
+
+* Corrected a number of minor typos in the API
+  documentation.
+
+* Corrected a typo in the `imageviewer.rb`
+  example.
+
+* Modified the `inputs.rb` example program to
+  use `Pipe.read_nonblock()` instead of
+  `Pipe.read()`.
+
+* Fixed a bug in the implementation of the
+  `findText` method for the
+  `FXText` class, when used with the
+  ´SEARCH_REGEX´ option.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.28 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.11 (April 18, 2007)
+
+* Added `editable` as an alias for
+  `FXTextField#editable?`.
+
+* Added `each_child_recursive` instance
+  method for the `FXWindow` class. This method
+  performs a depth-first traversal of the widget tree starting at the
+  receiver window.
+
+* Corrected some errors in the keyword arguments support for the
+  `FXVec2d`, `FXVec2f`,
+  `FXVec3d`, `FVec3f`,
+  `FXVec4d` and `FXVec4f`
+  classes.
+
+* Corrected an error in the keyword arguments support for the
+  `FXIconDict` class.
+
+* Modified the gem specification so that the RDoc generated during
+  a gem install is consistent with that generated by other methods (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #10035).
+
+* Changes to the `iterators` library in version
+  1.6.6 introduced a bug in the `each` method for
+  the `FXFoldingList`,
+  `FXTreeList` and
+  `FXTreeListBox` classes (see RubyForge
+  Bug #10175). This problem has been fixed.
+
+* Applied submitted patches for building FXRuby against Ruby 1.9
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #10181). Please note that building FXRuby against the Ruby
+  1.9 code base is still officially unsupported; however, I'm glad to
+  accept patches that will help make this possible.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.25 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.9 (April 8, 2007)
+
+* A bug was discovered in the keyword arguments library support
+  for the `FXMenuBar` class (see RubyForge
+  Bug #9927). This problem has been fixed.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.25 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.8 (April 5, 2007)
+
+* Due to an internal bookkeeping error, applications like the
+  `glviewer.rb` example program which create multiple
+  `FXGLViewer` instances could cause an assertion
+  to fail. When this assertion fails on Windows, the program simply
+  crashes (see RubyForge
+  Bug #9775). This problem has been fixed.
+
+* The keyword arguments library, introduced in version 1.6.5, is
+  now included automatically when you load FXRuby; it is no longer
+  necessary to explicitly require it.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.25 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.7 (March 31, 2007)
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.25 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.6 (February 10, 2007)
+
+* Somewhere along the way, the RAA browser example program got
+  broken due to changes in the SOAP interface to RAA (see RubyForge
+  Bug #7977). This has been fixed.
+
+* Some debugging code that was meant to detect errors in FXRuby
+  message data conversion was inadvertently causing some user
+  applications to crash when running under Windows (see RubyForge
+  Bug #8049). This debugging code has been changed to avoid the
+  problem.
+
+* Modified the implementations of the each iterator methods for
+  `FXFoldingList`,
+  `FXFoldingItem`,
+  `FXTreeItem`, `FXTreeList`
+  and `FXTreeListBox` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #8090). The new implementation is a bit more robust in
+  terms of modifications (such as deletion) of the iterated-over
+  elements.
+
+* A bug in the new keyword arguments library (introduced in
+  version 1.6.5) caused the `initialize` method
+  for the `FXDCWindow` class to do the wrong thing
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #8441). This has been corrected.
+
+* A different bug in the keyword arguments library caused the
+  `initialize` method for the
+  `FXFont` class to do the wrong thing (see RubyForge
+  Bug #8517). This also has been corrected.
+
+* Yet another bug in the keyword arguments library broke the part
+  of the code that used to yield ´self´ to an
+  optional block attached to the call to `new`
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #8518). This has been corrected.
+
+* Most of the FXRuby example programs have been updated to use the
+  keyword arguments library.
+
+* Added a new "virtual" keyword argument
+  ´:padding´ that can be used in place of (or in
+  addition to) the ´:padLeft´,
+  ´:padRight´, ´:padTop´ and
+  ´:padBottom´ arguments for a constructor. When a
+  ´:padding´ value is passed in to the arguments
+  hash, that value will be used for any of the four regular padding
+  values that aren't otherwise specified. See the example programs for,
+  you know, examples.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.20 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.5 (January 20, 2007)
+
+* Clicking outside of the visible cells for an
+  `FXTable` when there was no current selection
+  caused the code to raise an exception (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5907). This problem has been fixed.
+
+* The `hasTimeout?` method for the
+  `FXApp` class was implemented incorrectly (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #7564). This problem has been fixed.
+
+* The `FXFoldingList` and
+  `FXFoldingItem` classes did not have each
+  iterator methods like most of the other list-based widgets (see RubyForge
+  Patch #7978). These have been added.
+
+* The API documentation for `FXMDIClient`
+  claimed that `FXScrollArea` was its base class
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #7979). This has been corrected; the base class for
+  `FXMDIClient` is
+  `FXComposite`.
+
+* There was a small typo in the documentation for the
+  `FXFoldingList` class options (see RubyForge
+  Bug #7981). This has been fixed.
+
+* Added preliminary support for keyword-style arguments, as
+  described in the "Differences Between
+  FOX and FXRuby" section of the FXRuby User's Guide.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.20 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.4 (November 30, 2006)
+
+* A change made in Ruby 1.8.5 for cyclic requires led to a problem
+  that caused the Ruby interpreter to emit a large number of warnings
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5633). This problem has been fixed.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.16 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.3 (October 27, 2006)
+
+* Widgets of some classes (namely
+  `FXTopWindow` and
+  `FXMDIChild`) weren't properly sending a
+  ´SEL_CLOSE´ message to their message targets (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #5498). Thanks to a change in FOX version 1.6.16, this
+  problem has been fixed.
+
+* The `getControlFor` method for the
+  `FXComboTableItem` class was coded incorrectly
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5906). This has been fixed.
+
+* There was a minor typo in the API documentation for the
+  `FXTriStateButton` class (see RubyForge Bug #5962). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `each_row` and
+  `each_column` iterator methods for the
+  `FXTable` class were incorrectly coded (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #6036). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `new` class methods for
+  `FXColorItem`, `FXDirItem`,
+  `FXFileItem`,
+  `FXFoldingItem`,
+  `FXHeaderItem`,
+  `FXIconItem`, `FXListItem`
+  and `FXTreeItem` were all raising exceptions when
+  a non-´nil´ value was passed in for the last
+  argument (see RubyForge
+  Bug #6197). A similar problem was present for various instance
+  methods in the `FXColorList`,
+  `FXListBox` and
+  `FXMDIClient` classes. These problems have been
+  fixed.
+
+* A few problems were discovered for the
+  `inputs.rb` example program (see RubyForge
+  Bug #6209). These problems have been fixed.
+
+* Several instance methods for the `FXTable`
+  class were not actually present under their documented names (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #6211). This has been fixed.
+
+* The build script was not compatible with changes made in the
+  recently-released FXScintilla 1.71 (see RubyForge
+  Bug #6313). This has been fixed.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.16 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.71.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.2 (September 13, 2006)
+
+* The `expandTree()` and
+  `collapseTree()` methods for the
+  `FXFoldingList` class were incorrectly identified
+  as `expandFolding()` and
+  `collapseFolding()` in the API documentation
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5354). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `FXDockTitle` class was not supported
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5632). This has been fixed.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXGLCanvas`
+  class claimed it had a `shared?` method, but it
+  didn't (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5591). Now it does.
+
+* The `FXGradientBar` class was not supported
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5746). This has been fixed.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.14 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.67 (from CVS).
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.4.7 (September 13, 2006)
+
+* The `children` instance method for the
+  `FXWindow` class always returned an array of
+  `FXWindow` instances, even if the actual types
+  should have been instances of subclasses of
+  `FXWindow` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4342). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `dilbert.rb` example program was broken
+  due to a change in the Dilbert.com web site structure (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4597). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `expandTree()` and
+  `collapseTree()` methods for the
+  `FXFoldingList` class were incorrectly identified
+  as `expandFolding()` and
+  `collapseFolding()` in the API documentation
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5354). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `FXDockTitle` class was not supported
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5632). This has been fixed.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXGLCanvas`
+  class claimed it had a `shared?` method, but it
+  didn't (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5591). Now it does.
+
+* The `FXGradientBar` class was not supported
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5746). This has been fixed.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.4.34 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.63.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.1 (July 21, 2006)
+
+* The message data sent along for the
+  ´SEL_INSERTED´, ´SEL_DELETED´
+  and ´SEL_REPLACED´ messages from an a
+  `FXText` widget to its target was not being
+  converted properly (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4666). This has been fixed.
+
+* The code related to the localization of application messages in
+  FOX wasn't implemented properly in FXRuby, and as a result,
+  constructing certain dialogs (like the color dialog) could cause a
+  program to crash (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5000). This has been fixed.
+
+* The "Stop Spin" button in the gltest.rb example program didn't
+  stop the cubes from spinning after either the "Spin Timer" or "Spin
+  Chore" option was selected (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5001). This was actually a symptom of a larger problem,
+  that FXRuby wasn't properly handling timers and chores. These problems
+  have been fixed.
+
+* Setting the current item for an
+  `FXComboBox` to -1 (to indicate that there's no
+  current item) would cause FXRuby to erroneously raise an
+  `IndexError` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5007). This has been fixed.
+
+* The documentation for the `reparent`
+  instance method for the `FXWindow` class was
+  incorrect (see RubyForge
+  Bug #5035). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `textedit.rb` example program was not up
+  to date with some of the changes for FOX 1.6. This example has been
+  updated.
+
+* The new `font` method for the
+  `FXFont` class was not documented. This has been
+  fixed.
+
+* The `dilbert.rb` example program has been
+  modified to use the RubyfulSoup HTML library instead of the
+  html-parser library.
+
+* As discussed in various forums (see for example [this
+  post](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/182827), the `autorequire` directive for
+  RubyGems specifications is now deprecated. As a result, this has been
+  removed from the FXRuby gem specification. This change will break any
+  code that was using a statement like:´require_gem 'fxruby'´as
+  the sole means for loading FXRuby. Such programs should instead
+  use:´require 'fox16'´which will work
+  for either gem based or non-gem based installations.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.8 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.67 (from CVS).
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.6.0 (May 29, 2006)
+
+* This is the first release of FXRuby compatible with FOX version
+  1.6. One of the most signficant changes for FOX 1.6 has been the
+  addition of Unicode support; all FOX widgets and internal string
+  processing routines are now Unicode aware. For a comprehensive
+  overview of the changes made to FOX since version 1.4 (including those
+  made in the FOX 1.5 development series), please refer to the
+  [News archives](http://www.fox-toolkit.com/news.html) at
+  the FOX web site.
+
+* Added the `allowSide`,
+  `disallowSide` and
+  `allowedSide?` methods for the
+  `FXDockBar` class, as complements to the
+  `allowedSides` accessor methods (see RubyForge
+  Feature Request #2307).
+
+* Added the `visible=` and
+  `visible?` accessor methods for the
+  `FXWindow` class, as complements to the
+  `show`, `hide` and
+  `shown?` methods (see RubyForge
+  Feature Request #3579).
+
+* The `browser.rb` example was making use of a
+  deprecated API (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4325). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `children` instance method for the
+  `FXWindow` class always returned an array of
+  `FXWindow` instances, even if the actual types
+  should have been instances of subclasses of
+  `FXWindow` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4342). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `dilbert.rb` example program was broken
+  due to a change in the Dilbert.com web site structure (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4597). This has been fixed.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.6.5 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.67 (from CVS).
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.4.6 (April 26, 2006)
+
+* FXRuby would not compile properly on some x86-64 systems (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #3729). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Javier
+  Goizueta for initially reporting this problem, and especially to
+  Tobias Peters for providing a patch.
+
+* The `FXIconDict` widget was accidentally
+  "lost" in the transition between FXRuby versions 1.2 and 1.4 (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #4117). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Manfred
+  Usselmann for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `FXSwitcher` widget was not sending the
+  appropriate message data to its message target for the
+  ´SEL_COMMAND´ message type (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4157). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Manfred
+  Usselmann for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `FXSeparator` class wasn't implemented
+  properly (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4158). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Gerard
+  Menochet for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `findItemByData` method was
+  implemented incorrectly for the `FXComboBox`,
+  `FXFoldingList`,
+  `FXIconList`, `FXList` and
+  `FXListBox` classes (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4172). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Gerard
+  Menochet for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `FXListBox` widget was not sending the
+  appropriate message data to its message target for the
+  ´SEL_COMMAND´ message type (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4255). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Gerard
+  Menochet for reporting this problem.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.4.29 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.63.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.4.5 (April 10, 2006)
+
+* The `FXTextField` class was not properly
+  responding to the ´ID_INSERT_STRING´ command (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #3320). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Uwe Hartl
+  for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `text` and
+  `getText` methods for the
+  `FXMenuCaption` class were returning
+  ´nil´ instead of the actual value (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3458). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Meinrad
+  Recheis (Henon) for reporting this problem.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXMDIChild`
+  class erroneously listed ´SEL_CLOSEALL´ as one of
+  the message types that an MDI child window might send to its message
+  target (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3508). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Meinrad
+  Recheis (Henon) for reporting this problem.
+
+* Calling the `selectRange` method for
+  class `FXTable` would cause a fatal error instead
+  of merely raising an `IndexError` exception (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #3615). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Meinrad
+  Recheis (Henon) for reporting this problem.
+
+* Due to an error in the SWIG interface files, the
+  `FXChoiceBox` class was basically unusable (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #3676). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Uwe Hartl
+  for reporting this problem.
+
+* The API documentation for the
+  `FXRealSlider` and
+  `FXRealSpinner` classes erroneously claimed that
+  the message data for the ´SEL_COMMAND´ and
+  ´SEL_CHANGED´ messages sent by these widgets to
+  their targets were integers (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3749). Along the same lines, the message data for those
+  widgets wasn't being converted correctly (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3750). Both of these errors have been corrected. Thanks
+  to Meinrad Recheis (Henon) for reporting these problems.
+
+* The API documentation for the Fox module incorrectly listed the
+  names of the `FXSELTYPE` and
+  `FXSELID` methods as
+  `SELTYPE` and `SELID`
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3940). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Joel
+  VanderWerf for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `FXTableItem` constructor was supposed
+  to (optionally) accept a reference to an arbitrary Ruby object as its
+  third argument, but this wasn't working properly (see RubyForge
+  Bug #4005). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Mark
+  Volkman for reporting this problem.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.4.29 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.63.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.4.4 (January 21, 2006)
+
+* The build instructions for Unix platforms had not been updated
+  recently and as such contained some errors (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3014). These errors have been corrected. Thanks to Dave
+  Burns for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `extendSelection` method for the
+  `FXTable` class was raising an exception if an
+  out of bounds row or column index was passed in (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3050). This has been changed so that
+  `extendSelection` instead returns false for out
+  of bounds arguments. Thanks to Leonid Moiseichuk for reporting this
+  problem.
+
+* The `each_child` iterator method for the
+  `FXWindow` class would fail if the child window
+  was destroyed in the block (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3134). Thanks to Liam Irish for reporting this problem
+  and providing a patch.
+
+* The message data for the ´SEL_REPLACED´
+  message sent by the `FXTable` class to its target
+  was not being handled properly (see RubyForge
+  Bug #3244). There were also problems with the message data for
+  the ´SEL_SELECTED´ and
+  ´SEL_DESELECTED´ messages. Furthermore, the
+  ´SEL_REPLACED´ message was not documented in the
+  RDoc documentation for the `FXTable` class. All
+  of these problems have been corrected. Thanks to _blackdog for
+  reporting this problem.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.4.29 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.63.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.4.3 (November 7, 2005)
+
+* The ´TOGGLEBUTTON_KEEPSTATE´ option for the
+  `FXToggleButton` class was not documented (see
+  RubyForge
+  Bug #2286). This oversight has been corrected. Thanks to Tim
+  Smith for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `scintilla.rb` library file was not up to
+  date with the latest FXScintilla release, and as a result it was
+  missing some methods (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2479). This oversight has been corrected. Thanks to Maxim
+  Kulkin for reporting this problem.
+
+* Due to changes in the APIs for timers and chores, the mechanisms
+  for removing chores and timeouts were broken (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2563). This bug has been fixed. Thanks to "moinker" for
+  reporting this problem.
+
+* An error in the test setup caused all of the tests for the
+  `FXList` class to fail (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2564). This bug has been fixed. Thanks to Peter for
+  reporting this problem.
+
+* Due to a bug in the test suite runner script, not all test cases
+  were being exercised (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2565). This bug has been fixed.
+
+* Calling the `getPixel` method for the
+  `FXImage` class when the client-side pixel buffer
+  for the image has already been released would cause a program to crash
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2611). Now, `getPixel` will raise
+  an exception if it's called after the pixel buffer has been released.
+  The documentation for `getPixel` has been
+  updated accordingly. Thanks to Gonzalo Garramuno for reporting this
+  problem.
+
+* The `makePositionVisible` method for the
+  `FXTable` class was raising an exception when
+  passed out-of-bounds values for the row or column index (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2660). This could happen, for example, if you were to
+  click in a table area outside of the regular cells (which indirectly
+  triggers a call to `makePositionVisible`). This
+  was actually inconsistent with standard FOX behavior, which simply
+  ignores out of bounds values for that method's arguments. This bug has
+  been fixed, and the documentation for
+  `makePositionVisible` has been updated
+  accordingly. Thanks to Ralf Jonas for reporting this problem.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.4.21 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.63.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.4.2 (August 22, 2005)
+
+* Due to a bug in the implementation, the
+  `checked?` method for the
+  `FXCheckButton` class always returned
+  ´false´ (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1852). This bug has been fixed. Thanks to Meinrad Recheis
+  for reporting this problem.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXTable`
+  class listed several obsolete attributes (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1928). Those errors have been corrected. Thanks to Pavel
+  Sokolov for reporting these problems.
+
+* There were a number of bugs in the
+  `textedit.rb` example program (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1979), and those bugs have been fixed. Thanks to Claude
+  Marinier for reporting these problems.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXTreeList`
+  class' `new` method still showed the number of
+  visible items (´nvis´) as its second argument
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2171). This problem has been corrected. Thanks to Bill
+  Atkins for reporting this problem.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXTopWindow`
+  class had a number of errors (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2269). This problem has been corrected.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXTreeList`
+  class still listed the obsolete `reparentItem`
+  method (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2270). This problem has been corrected. Thanks to Jacob
+  Hansen for reporting this problem.
+
+* Due to a bug in how the SWIG typemaps for the
+  ´FXlong´ type were defined, some methods for the
+  `FXFileStream` class were broken (see RubyForge
+  Bug #2275). This problem has been corrected. Thanks to Gonzalo
+  Garramuno for reporting this problem.
+
+* Merged in all of the fixes for FXRuby 1.2.6.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.4.17 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.63.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.4.1 (August 20, 2005)
+
+* This is the second release of FXRuby which is compatible with
+  FOX 1.4, and as such should be considered an "unstable" release. For a
+  history of the changes made during the FOX 1.3 and 1.4 development,
+  see the [News](http://www.fox-toolkit.com/news.html)
+  page at the FOX Web site.
+
+* The unit tests (in the `tests` subdirectory)
+  had not been updated to require the ´fox14´
+  feature, and were still looking at ´fox12´. This
+  has been corrected.
+
+* A number of minor problems were corrected for the Windows build
+  of FXRuby.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.4.17 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.63.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.4.0 (August 19, 2005)
+
+* This is the first release of FXRuby which is compatible with FOX
+  1.4, and as such should be considered an "unstable" release. For a
+  history of the changes made during the FOX 1.3 and 1.4 development,
+  see the [News](http://www.fox-toolkit.com/news.html)
+  page at the FOX Web site.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.2.6 (April 15, 2005)
+
+* Some additional problems related to calling the
+  `setTableSize` method for an
+  `FXTable` were discovered (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1597). This problem has been corrected. Thanks to Joel
+  VanderWerf for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `iconlist.rb` example program had a
+  "Sort" pulldown menu filled with a number of commands that didn't
+  really do anything, including sorting the items (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1654). This pulldown menu has been removed from that
+  example.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXDC` class
+  erroneously referred to the `font` attribute as
+  `textFont` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1667). This problem has been corrected. Thanks to Meinrad
+  Recheis for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `checked?`,
+  `unchecked?` and
+  `maybe?` methods for the
+  `FXMenuCheck` class were missing (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1677). This problem has been corrected. Thanks to Oliver
+  Smith for reporting this problem.
+
+* The API documentation for the
+  `FXScrollArea` class incorrectly spelled the
+  names of the `horizontalScrollBar` and
+  `verticalScrollBar` methods as
+  `horizontalScrollbar` and
+  `verticalScrollbar` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1678). The documentation has been corrected. Thanks to
+  Jannis Pohlmann for reporting this mistake.
+
+* Some code in the `groupbox.rb` example
+  program was calling the `getRootWindow` method,
+  but that method has been renamed to `getRoot`
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1692). This problem has been corrected. Thanks to
+  Jaroslav Stika for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `hasChar?` method for the
+  `FXFont` class was spelled without a trailing
+  question mark, but it seems more Ruby-like that it should, so we've
+  added an alias for that (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1714). This method also now accepts a string of size 1
+  (i.e. a single character) as its input, as an alternative to an
+  ordinal value. Thanks to Meinrad Recheis for these suggestions.
+
+* The API documentation for the `FXImage`
+  class mistakenly listed ´IMAGE_ALPHA´ as a valid
+  image rendering hint, but this flag is no longer needed since FOX
+  images now always contain an alpha channel (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1715). The documentation has been corrected. Thanks to
+  Meinrad Recheis for reporting this mistake.
+
+* Due to an error in the SWIG interface files, the
+  `data` method for the
+  `FXSettings` class was not being wrapped
+  properly. As a result, this method was unavailable and in turn led to
+  other dependent methods (like `each_section`)
+  to be unavailable as well (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1771). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Jannis
+  Pohlmann for reporting this problem.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.2.16 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.62.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.2.5 (March 1, 2005)
+
+* The change made for FXRuby version 1.2.4 regarding garbage
+  collection for table items corrected only one of the problems
+  described in RubyForge
+  Bug #1445; There was still a problem related to the
+  "destructive" effects of the `setTableSize`
+  method for the `FXTable` class. This problem has
+  now been corrected as well. Thanks to David Peoples, Jamey Cribbs and
+  Joel VanderWerf for their assistance in helping me to track down this
+  problem.
+
+* The `extractText` and
+  `overlayText` methods for the
+  `FXTable` class were implemented incorrectly and
+  weren't listed in the API documentation. These problems have been
+  corrected.
+
+* The checks for out-of-bounds indices in the
+  `getColumnX`,
+  `setColumnX`, `getRowY`,
+  `setRowY` and
+  `updateRange` methods for the
+  `FXTable` class were incorrect. These have been
+  fixed.
+
+* The `setTableSize` method for the
+  `FXTable` class now raises
+  `ArgError` if either the number of rows or
+  columns passed in as arguments is less than zero.
+
+* A typo in one of the source files was causing the build to fail
+  when compiled against Ruby versions 1.8.1 or earlier (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1551). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Alex
+  McGuire for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `selectItem` method for the
+  `FXTable` class was removed in FOX 1.2, so we've
+  added a convenience method for this that just calls the
+  `selectRange` method under the hood (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1562). Thanks to Joel VanderWerf for this
+  suggestion.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.2.13 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.62.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.2.4 (February 23, 2005)
+
+* Due to a change in some of the internal Ruby C APIs, a
+  compile-time error for FXRuby was introduced in some of the Ruby 1.8.2
+  preview releases (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1039). One should not see any compile-time errors when
+  compiling FXRuby (versions 1.2.3 or later) against the Ruby 1.8.2
+  final release, but I've neverthless made a change to how those
+  internal APIs are used, to avoid any potential problems. Thanks to the
+  many users who pointed out this problem.
+
+* Joel VanderWerf suggested some enhancements to the
+  `image.rb` example program in order to improve its
+  startup time (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1281). Those changes have been incorporated. Thanks to
+  Joel for this suggestion.
+
+* One change for the `FXImage` class between
+  FOX versions 1.0 and 1.2 is the nature of the pixel buffer that's
+  passed to the `FXImage` constructor. Previously,
+  this pixel buffer was expected to be a string of bytes; now it's
+  expected to be an array of ´FXColor´ values. This
+  modification was not implemented correctly for FXRuby versions 1.2.3
+  and earlier (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1427). This bug has been corrected, and the example
+  program (`image.rb`) and test cases have been
+  updated as well. Thanks to Oliver Smith and others for reporting this
+  problem.
+
+* A couple of different problems, reported by Patrick Fernie and
+  David Peoples, exposed a flaw in how FXRuby manages the links between
+  FOX objects and their Ruby peers when the FOX objects are destroyed
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1445). Without going into all the gory details, let's
+  just say that since we have no explicit control over when Ruby's
+  garbage collector decides to "collect" those Ruby peers that point to
+  C++ objects that have been destroyed, we need to take steps to
+  neutralize those Ruby peer objects so that they can't cause your
+  application to crash in the meantime; I've implemented a fix to take
+  care of this situation. Thanks to Patrick and David for reporting
+  these problems.
+
+* The API documentation for FXRuby 1.2 still contained references
+  to the old "spellings" of the `fxparseAccel`
+  and `fxparseHotKey` method names, which were
+  all lowercase (i.e. `fxparseaccel` and
+  `fxparsehotkey`). (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1470). These errors have been corrected.
+
+* Added the `FXScrollArea#scrollCorner`
+  method, which returns a reference to the scroll corner for any window
+  derived from `FXScrollArea` (see RubyForge
+  Feature Request #1226). Thanks to Brian Sheehan for this
+  suggestion.
+
+* Added the `FXMemoryBuffer#to_a` method,
+  which is just an alias for the `data` accessor
+  method that returns a copy of the data buffer as an array (see RubyForge
+  Feature Request #1295). Thanks to Meinrad Recheis for this
+  suggestion.
+
+* Added the `appendRows` and
+  `appendColumns` methods to the
+  `FXTable` class (see RubyForge
+  Feature Request #1295). Thanks to Brett Hallett for this
+  suggestion.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.2.13 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.62.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.2.3 (January 22, 2005)
+
+* Since group boxes containing radio buttons no longer enforce the
+  radio behavior of radio buttons (i.e. keeping only one radio button
+  selected at a time), some of the example programs were no longer
+  working as desired (see RubyForge
+  Bug #751 and RubyForge
+  Bug #1280). This problem has been corrected. Thanks to Yuri
+  Leikind and Barry DeZonia for reporting this problem.
+
+* Bob Sidebotham reported a little typo in the
+  `table.rb` example program (see RubyForge
+  Bug #990). This has been corrected.
+
+* The API documentation for `FXList` did not
+  reflect the changes for FOX 1.2; the
+  `retrieveItem()` has been renamed to
+  `getItem()` and
+  `insertItem()` has been renamed to
+  `setItem()` (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1037 and RubyForge
+  Bug #1257). This has been corrected. Thanks to Remy Drouilhet
+  and Stephan Kamper for reporting this problem.
+
+* The Windows installer was missing some of the documentation
+  files (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1139). This has been corrected. Thanks to Curt Hibbs and
+  Mark Smith for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `browser.rb` example program was broken
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1146). This has been corrected. Thanks to Stefan Lang for
+  reporting this problem.
+
+* The attribute setter for
+  `FXHeaderItem#justification` was defined
+  incorrectly (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1276). This has been corrected. Thanks to Joel VanderWerf
+  for reporting this problem (and providing a patch to fix it).
+
+* The `filenames` alias for the
+  `FXFileDialog#getFilenames()` instance method
+  was missing (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1277). This error has been corrected. Thanks to Barry
+  DeZonia for reporting this problem.
+
+* The API documentation for the
+  `FXFileDialog` class methods
+  `getOpenFilenames()`,
+  `getOpenDirectory()`,
+  `getOpenFilename()` and
+  `getSaveFilename()` was extremely inadequate
+  (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1279). This documentation has been improved. Thanks to
+  Barry DeZonia for reporting this problem.
+
+* Brett Hallett contributed a Ruby port of the "ratio" example
+  program from the regular FOX distribution, for demonstrating the use
+  of the new `FXSpring` layout manager (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1282). Many thanks to Brett for this addition!
+
+* Joel VanderWerf contributed code to simplify how programs
+  interact with modal and non-modal dialog boxes (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1283). See the API documentation for the new
+  `FXDialogBox#execute_modal` and
+  `FXDialogBox#execute_nonmodal` methods for
+  examples of their use.
+
+* The attribute setters for
+  `FXRealSpinner#selBackColor` and
+  `FXSpinner#selBackColor` were defined
+  incorrectly (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1297). These have been corrected. Thanks to Meinrad
+  Recheis for reporting this problem.
+
+* The `tooltipPause` attribute reader for
+  the `FXApp` class was missing (see RubyForge
+  Patch #1306). Thanks to Joel VanderWerf for reporting this
+  omission and providing a patch to fix it.
+
+* The API documentation for the
+  `FXToolBarTab` class was missing (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1322). Thanks to Joel VanderWerf for reporting this
+  omission.
+
+* The attribute accessors for
+  `FXText#visibleRows` and
+  `FXText#visibleColumns` were defined and
+  documented incorrectly (see RubyForge
+  Bug #1325). These have been corrected. Thanks to Karl El-Koura
+  for reporting this problem.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.2.13 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.62.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.2.2 (October 1, 2004)
+
+* In order to avoid versioning problems when dealing with a mix of
+  applications based on either FXRuby 1.0 or 1.2, the feature name for
+  FXRuby has been changed from "fox" to "fox12". For most application
+  developers, this means that you will need to modify the source code
+  for applications targeted at FXRuby 1.2 to begin with the line
+  ´require 'fox12'´Note that no
+  changes should be required for legacy applications targeted at FXRuby
+  1.0.
+
+* Made a number of updates to the documentation, to reflect API
+  changes for FXRuby 1.2.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.2.9 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.61.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.2a2 (July 10, 2004)
+
+* This is the second "alpha" release of FXRuby 1.2. This release
+  should be compatible with any FOX library version 1.2; it is not
+  compatible with any previous FOX library versions. As this is an alpha
+  release, users should expect a certain amount of instability, bugs,
+  etc.
+
+* For this release, all of the FOX 1.2 classes are available with
+  the exception of the `FXBitmapView` class. There
+  is a small problem with how the `FXBitmapView`
+  class is declared in the FOX 1.2 header files, and I'm trying to
+  decide how best to resolve that problem. The goal is to have this
+  problem resolved by the next alpha release of FXRuby.
+
+* For this release, all of the RDoc-based online documentation has
+  been brought up to date with the new APIs.
+
+* Portions of the FXRuby User's Guide were still out of date with
+  respect to the new APIs (see SourceForge Bug #988623). This has been fixed.
+
+* The `mditest.rb` example program was not up
+  to date with the new APIs. This has been fixed.
+
+* The `glviewer.rb` example program was not up
+  to date with the new APIs (see SourceForge Bug #986479). This has been fixed. Thanks to Remy Drouilhet
+  for reporting this problem and suggesting the fixes.
+
+* The `FXGLGroup#bounds` method was defined
+  incorrectly (see SourceForge Bug #986476). This has been fixed. Thanks to Remy Drouilhet
+  for reporting this problem and suggesting the fix.
+
+* The `scintilla-test.rb` example program was
+  not up to date with the new APIs (see SourceForge Bug #986172). This has been fixed. Thanks to Peter Watkins for
+  reporting this problem and submitting a corrected version of the
+  program.
+
+* There was a small typo in the table.rb example program (see
+  SourceForge Bug #988152). This has been fixed. Thanks to Jamey Cribbs for
+  reporting this problem and suggesting the fix.
+
+* Due to an oversight on my part, one of the overloaded
+  constructors for the `FXRegion` class wasn't
+  wrapped properly (see SourceForge Bug #986181). This has been fixed. Thanks to Bil Bas for
+  reporting this problem.
+
+* Removed some obsolete aliases for the old leading and trailing
+  rows and columns for the `FXTable` class (see
+  SourceForge Bug #988038). Thanks to Yuri Leikind for reporting this
+  problem.
+
+* Added `FXTable` instance methods
+  `horizontalGridShown=()` and
+  `verticalGridShown=()` to complement the
+  already available `horizontalGridShown?` and
+  `verticalGridShown?` methods.
+
+* The binary gem for the 1.2a1 release on Windows didn't have PNG
+  or JPEG image support built-in (see SourceForge Bug #986180). This has been fixed. Thanks to Bil Bas for
+  reporting this problem.
+
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.2.7 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.61.
+
+
+## Changes For Version 1.2a1 (June 28, 2004)
+
+* This is the first "alpha" release of FXRuby 1.2. This release
+  should be compatible with any FOX library version 1.2; it is not
+  compatible with any previous FOX library versions. As this is an alpha
+  release, users should expect a certain amount of instability, bugs,
+  etc.
+  The intent of this first alpha release is twofold. The primary
+  intent is allow application developers who have current projects based
+  on FXRuby 1.0 to begin the process of updating their applications for
+  compatibility with FXRuby 1.2. For this release, all of the classes
+  that existed in FXRuby 1.0 have been updated for compatibility with
+  FOX 1.2, and so developers should at least be able to begin to "port"
+  their applications forward now. Note that there have been a number of
+  changes for FOX 1.2 and FXRuby 1.2, both in terms of API changes and
+  less obvious "behavioral" changes. For a detailed summary of these
+  changes, please see "What's New in FOX 1.2" (also available as a PDF).
+  Note that few, if any, of the new classes introduced in FOX 1.2 are
+  available in this first alpha release of FXRuby 1.2. Support for those
+  new classes should come along quickly in subsequent alpha releases of
+  FXRuby 1.2.
+  The secondary intent of this first alpha release is to introduce
+  the new RubyGems-based packaging
+  of FXRuby and to begin to work out the inevitable kinks in that
+  system.
 
-=== 1.6.19 / 2009-03-06
+* The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.2.4 and
+  FXScintilla version 1.57.
