<p>The angly thingies are just two martini glasses turned on their side, see? Pouring out hpricoty goodness for you. (I don’t know if <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_the_lucky_stiff">_why</a> imbibed alcoholic beverages but I feel the desire to raise a glass to him.)</p>
<p>This release is mostly a refresh; the previous release was way back in April. From the <a href="http://github.com/hpricot/hpricot/commits/master/">Git logs</a> I can see that there were a few bug fixes since then. Otherwise, the main addition is a modern JRuby release, thanks to <a href="http://olabini.com/">Ola Bini</a>. (the previous was the 0.6 series). This does <a href="http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3732">fix a fairly old, popular JRuby bug</a>.</p>
<p>As for the future of Hpricot, it’s up to you. I know it’s still a trusty tool for many; I have no grand plans to change it. So if you encounter bugs and want to send patches, I’m happy to serve as your curator.</p>
