Pastebin 0.45 released – with Ruby support!
Since the last release of pastebin a few days ago I’ve fixed a few bugs, added clipboard support for IE, and upgraded to the latest version of GeShi. To everyone who’s been asking for Ruby formatting, it’s finally here!
Expect more tweaks over the next few weeks…

Cool. But… are you going to add Tcl formatting sometime? It doesn’t have to be all that great (e.g. just “strings” and #comments); it’d just be easier when reading code pasted here by some neophyte. Right now, they tend to leave the formatting set to something like PHP, and that can make what they’re doing trickier to parse for these eyes.
Cheers again, and thanks for the great service!

I don’t really do TCL, but I’ve knocked up a very quick formatter for it gleaning what I can from sample TCL code.
Have a look and if you have any feedback for improvement, let me know – http://tcl.pastebin.com

Thanks for finally releasing this. Btw the correct spelling is “License” with an s.

I’m British, and in the UK the correct spelling is “Licence”

I had posted a lot of Programs under http://copperskull.pastebin.com but now I think after you upgraded, all of ‘em are lost.
Or is it like Pastebin doesn’t retain the stuff that is pasted forever?
Please Reply.

pastebin was never intended for long term storage, only for ephemeral use on IRC or IM.
However, the next release in a few days will allow you to choose the expiry period.
If there are other features which would help people using it for long term archival, let me know.

Something _like_ long-term archival that I’d like to see:
A “Save” button that opens a dialog with the default extension being one appropriate to the syntax highligting selected (such as “untitled.php”).
By the way, you rock.

There’s a “download” link that’s been there for a year or so which does exactly that
