OFX for Ruby
currently at version 0.1.0
==============================================================================
version 0.1.0
2007.07.15
first public release
<svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/ofx/tags/ofx-0.1.0>
Chris Guidry <[email protected]>
Discovering Financial Institution connection information:
There is currently no discovery mechanism within OFX for Ruby for acquiring financial institution connection information from any partner servers (although this is planned in the future). Finding out this information is currently a manual process, but is greatly facilitated with either the ofxconnect utility from libofx <http://libofx.sourceforge.net/> or the information available at <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings>.
Running Unit Tests:
There are unit tests in the test directory, and I intend to keep these correct and functional to the best of my abilities. I am, however, limited in the coverage I can generate, since I am currently testing live against my own personal bank and credit card accounts. For the near future, the unit test suite will only cover the read-only aspects of communicating over OFX. So as of now, the unit tests available are a little specific to Capital One and CitiCards accounts.
If you have an account with one of these institutions, great! Please help me test more scenarios with these banks.
If you have an account with any other institution and can extend OFX for Ruby and it's unit test suite, greater!!!
In either case, please take care not to leave bank account numbers, and especially user credentials in the source tree when committing. I'm going to try to get a more organized test suite together in the future as we add more financial institutions and automatic discovery to the mix.
OFX Specification Completeness:
For the current level of OFX support, please see the "OFX Specification completion.ods" file in the planning directory of the release. This file will also be updated periodically on the RubyForge documentation section of the OFX for Ruby site.
Source Code:
Thanks to RubyForge.org for hosting the code for OFX.
This release can be found in the Subversion repository at <svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/ofx/tags/ofx-0.1.0>.
