Subject: [ANN] Ruboto 1.0.3 released!

The Ruboto team is pleased to announce the release of Ruboto 1.0.3.

Ruboto (JRuby on Android) is a platform for developing full stand-alone apps for Android using the Ruby language and libraries. It includes support libraries and generators for creating projects, classes, tests, and more. The complete APIs of Android, Java, and Ruby are available to you using the Ruby language.

New in version 1.0.3:

This release focuses on stability and introduces a new mechanism for reducing the footprint of your app using the ruboto.yml config file. You can now specify the Ruby compatibility level of your app (1.8/1.9/2.0) and which parts of the Ruby Standard Library you want to use. Ruboto will now strip the parts you don’t need, making your app a bit smaller.
