Currently have to install from source.

This project is currently unmaintained. The reason there is no 0.9.0 release is because I decided to rewrite major parts of the codebase, but was not able to finish up all the features. I think the gem building may also be broken

If you do want to clean up the codebase and make a release, I can help you pull the code in here and push the release to gemcutter.

Cool. I see that there is a gregoryfoster-gchartrb gem at gems.github.com. Do you know anything about this particular fork? (I'll try to follow up with him directly as well)

Considering this gem is not maintained, are you using a different library instead? Just trying to get a feel for what my options are moving forward.

There is gchart and googlecharts. I have seen gchartrb being used in many places, even recently. The 0.8 version of the library does not contain the latest features, but it is still pretty usable. The github is also pretty functional (with support for a few more chart types), and there are a 2-3 forks on github with minor fixes.

I have not had a use for gchartrb since the time I stopped maintaining it. The other trend that I saw was that a lot of people moved to Javascript based client-side charting mechanisms which were more flexible. This makes server-side APIs like Google Chart API slightly more redundant.
