+        compile-time error for FXRuby was introduced in some of the Ruby 1.8.2
+        preview releases (see <a href="http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1039&amp;group_id=300&amp;atid=1223" target="_top">RubyForge
+        Bug #1039</a>). 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.</p></li><li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>Joel VanderWerf suggested some enhancements to the
+        <tt class="filename">image.rb</tt> example program in order to improve its
+        startup time (see <a href="http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1281&amp;group_id=300&amp;atid=1223" target="_top">RubyForge
+        Bug #1281</a>). Those changes have been incorporated. Thanks to
+        Joel for this suggestion.</p></li><li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>One change for the <tt class="classname">FXImage</tt> class between
+        FOX versions 1.0 and 1.2 is the nature of the pixel buffer that's
+        passed to the <tt class="classname">FXImage</tt> constructor. Previously,
+        this pixel buffer was expected to be a string of bytes; now it's
+        expected to be an array of <span class="type">FXColor</span> values. This
+        modification was not implemented correctly for FXRuby versions 1.2.3
+        and earlier (see <a href="http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1427&amp;group_id=300&amp;atid=1223" target="_top">RubyForge
+        Bug #1427</a>). This bug has been corrected, and the example
+        program (<tt class="filename">image.rb</tt>) and test cases have been
+        updated as well. Thanks to Oliver Smith and others for reporting this
+        problem.</p></li><li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>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 <a href="http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1445&amp;group_id=300&amp;atid=1223" target="_top">RubyForge
+        Bug #1445</a>). 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.</p></li><li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>The API documentation for FXRuby 1.2 still contained references
+        to the old "spellings" of the <tt class="methodname">fxparseAccel</tt>
+        and <tt class="methodname">fxparseHotKey</tt> method names, which were
+        all lowercase (i.e. <tt class="methodname">fxparseaccel</tt> and

This release

+        compatible with any previous FOX library versions. As this is an alpha
+        release, users should expect a certain amount of instability, bugs,
+        etc.</p><p>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 <a href="http://www.knology.net/~lyle/fox/1.2/WhatsNew.html" target="_top">"What's New
+        in FOX 1.2"</a> (also available as a <a href="http://www.knology.net/~lyle/fox/1.2/WhatsNew.pdf" target="_top">PDF</a>).
+        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.</p><p>The secondary intent of this first alpha release is to introduce
+        the new <a href="http://rubygems.rubyforge.org" target="_top">RubyGems</a>-based packaging
+        of FXRuby and to begin to work out the inevitable kinks in that
+        system.</p></li><li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>The binary gem for Windows was built with FOX version 1.2.4 and
