Nukumi2 is doing very well, I’m actually writing on code that will be in the first public release 0.1 codename “godspeed”. :-) I hope I’ll publish this release this month, but I can’t promise it.

Not mentioned new features include:

• Clotheslines: You can now chain multiple clothes together, respective any code that follows the StarCloth API (which is StarCloth.new(text).to_html). My sample blog runs currently on this clothesline:

  BlueCloth RubyPants NiceHR
  

  Which is essentially the same as:

  result = NiceHR.new(RubyPants.new(
             BlueCloth.new(text).to_html).to_html).to_html
  

• RubyPants will be there, a proper standalone release will appear this week. (John Gruber already linked to it, thanks a lot ;-))

• NiceHR, a sample cloth that will wrap <hr /> into a <div class="separator"> for better taming with CSS. It’s primarily an example on how to use REXML for tasks that were done with XSLT in Nukumi1.
