Hi all,

The Win32 Utils team is happy to announce the first release of
win32-changejournal.

What is it?
===========
This is a Ruby interface for Windows change journals. A Change Journal
is a file based account of all changes to files and directories on the
NTFS file system. So long as you have an NTFS filesystem, this package
should be preferred over win32-changenotify.

Synopsis
========
require "win32/changejournal"
include Win32

# Indefinitely wait for a change in 'C:\' and any of its
# subdirectories. Print the file and action affected.

cj = ChangeJournal.new('C:\')
cj.wait{ |info|
p info.file_name
p info.action
}

Where is it?
============
It can be found on the RAA (as win32-cjournal) or on the Rubyforge
project page at http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils (where you
can also get a binary, if you prefer).

Many thanks go to Park Heesob for this release.

Regards,

The Win32 Utils Team
