AspectR?

I've been an advocate of AOP and Rails now for what seems like ages. But I've never had the chance to play with them both together, until now... 

I already like the aspect-like qualities to the Ruby language, especially how they are used in Rails. For example, the way that a particular log-in protections extension worked, by declaring at the top of a class what methods were protected and how, was very nice and, if it had been declared in a separate class, would have been a very nice approximation. 

But now I've come across AspectR. AspectR is a a small library that supports developing more specific aspects in Ruby. It's a mark of the language how simple this has been achieved.

It looks like I might now have a way of combining my favourite architectural approach, aspect-oriented architectures, with the language and framework that is demanding most of my ( personal, see fun) time, Ruby.

AspectR, you now have my full attention...

Latest version on sourceforge.net is aspectr-0-3-5.tar.gz. It was updated list time at 29 Jan 2002 and it is very outdated for now..

It definitely needs to be updated for current ruby versions.

There is now a vs. 0.3.6, released April 3, 2006, available here:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1528

I believe this update was created by someone outside the AspectR team, with the intention of bringing it up to Ruby 1.8.4 compatibility.
