-## 2.8.0 / August 3 2011
-
-A short release, after the last. Announcing Rails 3.1 asset pipeline support.
-
-The asset pipeline support requires an additiona `load` in your `Capfile`.
-
-You can see information pertaining to the pull request, including the inline
-comments here: https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/pull/35
-
-Documentation will be available soon in the wiki.
-
-* Drop-In Rails 3.1 asset pipeline support. (Chris Griego)
-
-## 2.7.0 / August 3 2011
-
-A fairly substantial release. There are fixes so that current_release works
-during dry-runs, (although, apparently still not with bundler.)
-
-The test-suite was also modified to work with Ruby 1.9.2, except in one case
-where Ruby 1.9.x calls `to_ary` and `to_a` on mocks, which still makes an
-error. 1.9.x has always been supported, but due to lack of maintenance on my
-part the tests didn't ever pass.
-
-The `start`, `stop` and `restart` tasks have been reduced to mere hooks into
-which extensions can define their own functionality.
-
-The `readme` was also slightly improved, simply tweaks to express how best to
-run the test suite.
-
-* Ensure dry-run works with `:current_release` variable (Carol Nichols)
-* Added a new variable `:git_submodules_recursive`, setting the value to false
-will ensure Git doesn't recursively initialize and checkout submodules. (Konstantin Kudryashov)
-* Added an additional task option, `:on_no_matching_servers`, setting the
-value to `:continue` will ensure tasks with no matched servers continue
-without error, instead of raising `Capistrano::NoMatchingServersError` as was
-the previous behaviour. (Chris Griego)
-
-A huge thanks to all contributors, as always!
-
-Remember: @capistranorb on twitter for news.
-
-## 2.6.1 / June 25 2011
-
-A short maintenance release, Some fixes to the verbose flag inside the Git SCM
-as well as another argument for the (internal) `variable()` command, offering
-a default. The Git SCM is now verbose by default, but can be disabled by
-setting `:scm_verbose` to false.
-
-There has been an additional method added to string, within the context of the
-test suite, I'm always sketchy about adding additional methods to core
-classes, but it's a short term fix until I make the time to patch the test
-suite not to compare strings literally. The method is `String#compact`, and is
-implemented simply as `self.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')`.
-
-Here's the run-down of changes, and their committers, as always - a huge thank
-you to the community that continues to drive Capistrano's development.
-
-* `deploy:setup` now respects `:group_writable` (Daniel Duvall)
-* Fixes to `:scm_verbose` for the Git module (defaults to On.) (Matthew Davies)
-* Will now copy hidden files in the project's root into the release
-directory (Mark Jaquith)
-* Now handles closing already-dead connections in a sane way (does not raise
-an exception) (Will Bryant)
-* Renamed `Capistrano::VERSION::TINY` to `Capistrano::VERSION::PATCH` (Lee
-Hambley)
-* Removed the `VERSION` file (Lee Hambley)
-
-## 2.6.0 / May 3 2011
-
-A rather large release, feature-version bump because of the new
-multiple-gateways feature as implemented by Ryan Duryea (way to go!)
-
-Please also note from this release that if you use Git submodules, the
-Git-version requirement for the new implementation is now >= 1.5.6, from
-previously un-documented. (1.5.6 is new-enough that I think this is
-acceptable)
-
-	* Upgrade Net::SSH-gateway dependency to 1.1 (fixes a thread-deadlocking bug on MRI	1.9)
-	* Respect "dry-run" on transfer methods (Florian Frank)
-	* Add support for multiple gateways: (Ryan Duryea)
-        set :gateway, {
-          'gate1.example.com' => 'server1.example.com',
-          [ 'gate2.example.com', 'gate3.example.com' ] => [ 'server5.example.com', 'server6.example.com' ]
-        }
-	* Properly support nested Git submodules, moves Git requirement to >= 1.5.6 [if	you rely upon submodules] (Ken Miller)
-  * Fetch tags into the remote cache, allows deploying a tag when using Git, with the remote_cache strategy (Florian Frank)
-  * Various fixes to path handling bugs in the copt strategy. (Philippe Rathé)
-
-## 2.5.21 / April 6 2011

-	current_release (Mike Vincent)

-  * Do not try to look up the `:release_path` on servers which are defined `:no_release` (Chris Griego)
-  * Tiny patch to the `CVS` SCM code to be Ruby 1.9 compatible (Martin Carpenter)
-  * Changed the default `Git` submodule behaviour to use `--recursive`, Lighthouse Issue #176. (Lee Hambley)
-  * `:public_children` can now be `set()`, the default is unchanged, thanks (Chris Griego)
-  * Fixing the load path in the default `Capfile` to search vendored/unpacked Gems. Lighthouse Issue #174 (Mari Carmen/Rafael García)
-  * Adds a `maintenance_basename` variable (default value is `maintenance`) to allow you to set the maintenance page name (Celestino Gomes)
-  * Spelling fixes in inline-documentation (Tom Copeland)
-  * Make `zip` and `tar` handle symlinks the same way (zip follows symlinks by default, tar needs the option `-h`) (Ross Cooperman)

-
-* Added respect for ENV["ROLES"] that'll be used instead of the roles specified in the task definition [DHH]. Example:
-
-    task :setup, :roles => [ :app, :web, :db ]
-      # normally this would run every where
-    end
-    
-    ROLES=app cap setup # this will only run for the app role, overwritting the default declaration
-
-* Added :hosts option to task definition that allows you to specify cross-cutting tasks [DHH]. Example:
