This is indeed excellent news, thank you for working on this! 


And you are welcome too.

This looks great too! 


Thanks. And it's not even in the state I want it to be ;-)

Out of curiosity, is it possible to create a standalone executable from a 
wxRuby program? 


wxRuby3 itself does not (currently?) offer such an option. There are 
however generic 
Ruby packaging solutions around which might do the trick.
Myself, I would probably opt for packaging my app in a Gem with a starter 
script. 
That would not include Ruby itself but there is hardly a (mainstream) 
platform 
around for which Ruby is not readily available. And the various Ruby 
version managers 
even allow super easy installation of multiple versions (including the 
latest and 
greatest) if your distribution does not provide a recent version.


Also, concerning the web site update: I'll change the link to point to the 
gem above, but I think it would be nice to publish a news item about wxRuby 
revival, especially when the final version is available. Please don't 
hesitate to submit a PR to https://github.com/wxWidgets/website/ adding it. 


I'll try my best when it comes to that.
I think I will need most of the  remaining summer to finish up to the final 
release.
Stability overall is probably at the level I want it to be but tests are 
not nearly as
complete as needed so outlier issues may still come up.
Also, as said, I want to improve on documentation still.
