It seems rubyserial is an appropriate successor to this gem, particularly due to its FFI, JRuby compatibility. It seems the interface has not changed.

If there is improved software, then I prefer to direct current and new users there for the latest and greatest. At the least, this is something I can mention at the top of the README.

I've hung out with @deadprogram and @zankich of Hybrid Group and can vouch for their expertise in ruby and serial communications in general. They're actively hacking hardware. I trust their judgement.

Comments, suggestions welcomed.

PS: I also would also appreciate comments on this somewhat related semver proposal
