Shoes 4 preview 10 released!

2017/06/17

Howdy Shoes fans!

A new pre-release version (4.0.0.pre10) is up on Rubygems! Go ahead and grab it with:

gem install shoes --pre

This release represents a small changelog but big changes. It’s the first time that Shoes 4 has provided options for packaging up “apps” for all three of the platforms!

Along with this, the format for executing packaging commands has evolved. In the new gem you run commands like this to package things up:

shoes package --jar --mac --windows --linux path/to/app.rb

Packaging is really starting to shape up, with plenty of cross OS testing catching all those little bugs hiding in the shadows. Give it a spin why don’t you?
