- = Rake 0.7.2 Released
- Version 0.7.2 supplies a bug fix and a few minor enhancements. In
- particular, the new version fixes an incompatibility with the soon to
- be released Ruby 1.8.6. We strongly recommend upgrading to Rake 0.7.2
- in order to be compatible with the new version of Ruby.
- == Changes
- === Bug Fixes in 0.7.2
- There are quite a number of bug fixes in the new 0.7.2 version of
- Rake:
- * Removed dependency on internal fu_xxx functions from FileUtils.
- * Error messages are now send to stderr rather than stdout (from
- Payton Quackenbush).
- * Better error handling on invalid command line arguments (from Payton
- Quackenbush).
- * Fixed some bugs where the application object was going to the global
- appliation instead of using its own data.
- * Fixed the method name leak from FileUtils (bug found by Glenn
- Vanderburg).
- * Added test for noop, bad_option and verbose flags to sh command.
- * Added a description to the gem task in GemPackageTask.
- * Fixed a bug when rules have multiple prerequisites (patch by Joel
- VanderWerf)
- * Added the handful of RakeFileUtils to the private method as well.
- === New Features in 0.7.2
- The following new features are available in Rake version 0.7.2:
- * Added square and curly bracket patterns to FileList#include (Tilman
- Sauerbeck).
- * FileLists can now pass a block to FileList#exclude to exclude files
- based on calculated values.
- * Added plain filename support to rule dependents (suggested by Nobu
- Nakada).
- * Added pathmap support to rule dependents. In other words, if a
- pathmap format (beginning with a '%') is given as a Rake rule
- dependent, then the name of the depend will be the name of the
- target with the pathmap format applied.
- * Added a 'tasks' method to a namespace to get a list of tasks
- associated with the namespace.
- * Added tar_command and zip_command options to the Package task.
- * The clean task will no longer delete 'core' if it is a directory.
- === Internal Rake Improvements
- The following changes will are mainly internal improvements and
- refactorings and have little effect on the end user. But they may be
- of interest to the general public.
- * Added rcov task and updated unit testing for better code coverage.
- * Added a 'shame' task to the Rakefile.
- * Added rake_extension to handle detection of extension collisions.
- * Added a protected 'require "rubygems"' to test/test_application to
- unbreak cruisecontrol.rb.
- * Removed rake_dup. Now we just simply rescue a bad dup.
- * Refactored the FileList reject logic to remove duplication.
- * Removed if __FILE__ at the end of the rake.rb file.
- == What is Rake
- Rake is a build tool similar to the make program in many ways. But
- instead of cryptic make recipes, Rake uses standard Ruby code to
- declare tasks and dependencies. You have the full power of a modern
- scripting language built right into your build tool.
- == Availability
- The easiest way to get and install rake is via RubyGems ...
- gem install rake (you may need root/admin privileges)
- Otherwise, you can get it from the more traditional places:
- Home Page:: http://rake.rubyforge.org/
- Download:: http://rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50
- == Thanks
- As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes.
- The following people either contributed patches, made suggestions or
- made otherwise helpful comments. Thanks to ...
- * Payton Quackenbush -- For several error handling improvements.
- * Glenn Vanderburg -- For finding and fixing the method name leak from
- FileUtils.
- * Joel VanderWerf -- for finding and fixing a bug in the handling of
- multiple prerequisites.
- * Tilman Sauerbeck -- For some enhancing FileList to support more
- advanced file globbing.
- * Nobu Nakada -- For suggesting plain file name support to rule dependents.
