  1. = Rake 0.7.3 Released
  2. Rake version 0.7.3 is a minor release that includes some refactoring to better
  3. support custom Rake applications.
  4. == Changes
  5. === New Features in Version 0.7.3
  6. * Added the +init+ and +top_level+ methods to make the creation of custom Rake applications a bit easier. E.g.
  7. gem 'rake', ">= 0.7.3"
  8. require 'rake'
  9. Rake.application.init('myrake')
  10. task :default do
  11. something_interesting
  12. end
  13. Rake.application.top_level
  14. == What is Rake
  15. Rake is a build tool similar to the make program in many ways. But instead of
  16. cryptic make recipes, Rake uses standard Ruby code to declare tasks and
  17. dependencies. You have the full power of a modern scripting language built
  18. right into your build tool.
  19. == Availability
  20. The easiest way to get and install rake is via RubyGems ...
  21. gem install rake (you may need root/admin privileges)
  22. Otherwise, you can get it from the more traditional places:
  23. Home Page:: http://rake.rubyforge.org/
  24. Download:: http://rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50
  25. == Thanks
  26. As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes. The
  27. following people either contributed patches, made suggestions or made
  28. otherwise helpful comments. Thanks to ...
