History

The original analyzer that ruby-beautify was based on is available at: http://www.arachnoid.com/ruby/rubyBeautifier.html.

Original work is based on sublime-text2 plugin: https://github.com/CraigWilliams/BeautifyRuby which was cleaned up and made suitable for use directly in a shell.

Ruby-beautify was recently re-written to use the stdlib ripper gem to do the lexical analyzing. Consequently all of the old legacy code was dropped.
