+=== 10.0.3
+
+  "Jim, when will Rake reach version 1.0?"
+
+Over the past several years I've been asked that question at
+conferences, panels and over twitter. Due to historical reasons (or
+maybe just plain laziness) Rake has (incorrectly) been treating the
+second digit of the version as the major release number. So in my head
+Rake was already at version 9.
+
+Well, it's time to fix things. This next version of Rake drops old,
+crufty, backwards compatibility hacks such as top level constants, DSL
+methods defined in Object and numerous other features that are just no
+longer desired. It's also time to drop the leading zero from the
+version number as well and call this new version of rake what it
+really is: Version 10.
+
+So, welcome to Rake 10.0!
+
+Rake 10 is actually feature identical to the latest version of Rake 9
+(that would be the version spelled 0.9.3), *except* that Rake 10 drops
+all the sundry deprecated features that have accumulated over the years.
+
+If your Rakefile is up to date and current with all the new features
+of Rake 10, you are ready to go. If your Rakefile still uses a few
+deprecated feeatures, feel free to use Rake 9 (0.9.3) with the same
+feature set. Just be aware that future features will be in Rake 10
+family line.
+
+==== Changes
+
+As mentioned above, there are no new features in Rake 10. However,
+there are a number of features missing:
+
+* Classic namespaces are now gone. Rake is no longer able to reflect
+  the options settings in the global variables ($rakefile, $show\_tasks,
+  $show\_prereqs, $trace, $dryrun and $silent). The
+  <tt>--classic-namespace</tt> option is no longer supported.
+
+* Global constants are no longer supported. This includes
+  <tt>Task</tt>, <tt>FileTask</tt>, <tt>FileCreationTask</tt> and
+  <tt>RakeApp</tt>). The constant missing hook to warn about using
+  global rake constants has been removed.
+
+* The Rake DSL methods (task, file, directory, etc) are in their own
+  module (Rake::DSL). The stub versions of these methods (that printed
+  warnings) in Object have been removed. However, the DSL methods are
+  added to the top-level <tt>main</tt> object. Since <tt>main</tt> is
+  not in the inheritance tree, the presence of the DSL methods in main
+  should be low impact on other libraries.
+
+  If you want to use the Rake DSL commands from your own code, just
+  include <tt>Rake::DSL</tt> into your own classes and modules.
+
+* The deprecated syntax for task arguments (the one using
+  <tt>:needs</tt>) has been removed.
+
+* The <tt>--reduce-compat</tt> flag has been removed (it's not needed
+  anymore).
+
+* The deprecated <tt>rake/sys.rb</tt> library has been removed.
+
+* The deprecated <tt>rake/rdoctask.rb</tt> library has been removed.
+  RDoc supplies its own rake task now.
+
+* The deprecated <tt>rake/gempackagetask.rb</tt> library has been
+  removed. Gem supplies its own package task now.
+
+There is one small behavioral change:
+
+* Non-file tasks now always report the current time as their time
+  stamp. This is different from the previous behavior where non-file
+  tasks reported current time only if there were no prerequisites, and
+  the max prerequisite timestamp otherwise. This lead to inconsistent
+  and surprising behavior when adding prerequisites to tasks that in
+  turn were prequisites to file tasks. The new behavior is more
+  consistent and predictable.
+
+==== Changes (from 0.9.3, 0.9.4, 0.9.5)
+
+Since Rake 10 includes the changes from the last version of Rake 9,
+we'll repeat the changes for versions 0.9.3 through 0.9.5 here.
+
+===== New Features (in 0.9.3)
+
+* Multitask tasks now use a thread pool. Use -j to limit the number of
+  available threads.
+
+* Use -m to turn regular tasks into multitasks (use at your own risk).
+
+* You can now do "Rake.add_rakelib 'dir'" in your Rakefile to
+  programatically add rake task libraries.
+
+* You can specific backtrace suppression patterns (see
+  --suppress-backtrace)
+
+* Directory tasks can now take prerequisites and actions
+
+* Use --backtrace to request a full backtrace without the task trace.
+
+* You can say "--backtrace=stdout" and "--trace=stdout" to route trace
+  output to standard output rather than standard error.
+
+* Optional 'phony' target (enable with 'require 'rake/phony'") for
+  special purpose builds.
+
+* Task#clear now clears task comments as well as actions and
+  prerequisites. Task#clear_comment will specifically target comments.
+
+* The --all option will force -T and -D to consider all the tasks,
+  with and without descriptions.
+
+===== Bug Fixes (in 0.9.3)
+
+* Semi-colons in windows rakefile paths now work.
+
+* Improved Control-C support when invoking multiple test suites.
+
+* egrep method now reads files in text mode (better support for
+  Windows)
+
+* Better deprecation line number reporting.
+
+* The -W option now works with all tasks, whether they have a
+  description or not.
+
+* File globs in rake should not be sorted alphabetically, independent
+  of file system and platform.
+
+* Numerous internal improvements.
+
+* Documentation typos and fixes.
+
+===== Bug Fixes (in 0.9.4)
+
+* Exit status with failing tests is not correctly set to non-zero.
+
+* Simplified syntax for phony task (for older versions of RDoc).
+
+* Stand alone FileList usage gets glob function (without loading in
+  extra dependencies)
+
+===== Bug Fixes (in 0.9.5)
+
+* --trace and --backtrace no longer swallow following task names.

+we'll repeat the changes for version 0.9.3 here.
+
+===== New Features
+
+* Multitask tasks now use a thread pool. Use -j to limit the number of
+  available threads.
+
+* Use -m to turn regular tasks into multitasks (use at your own risk).
+
+* You can now do "Rake.add_rakelib 'dir'" in your Rakefile to
+  programatically add rake task libraries.
+
+* You can specific backtrace suppression patterns (see
+  --suppress-backtrace)
+
+* Directory tasks can now take prerequisites and actions
+
+* Use --backtrace to request a full backtrace without the task trace.
+
+* You can say "--backtrace=stdout" and "--trace=stdout" to route trace
+  output to standard output rather than standard error.
+
+* Optional 'phony' target (enable with 'require 'rake/phony'") for
+  special purpose builds.
+
+* Task#clear now clears task comments as well as actions and
+  prerequisites. Task#clear_comment will specifically target comments.
+
+* The --all option will force -T and -D to consider all the tasks,
+  with and without descriptions.
+
+===== Bug Fixes
+
+* Semi-colons in windows rakefile paths now work.
+
+* Improved Control-C support when invoking multiple test suites.
+
+* egrep method now reads files in text mode (better support for
+  Windows)
+
+* Better deprecation line number reporting.
+
+* The -W option now works with all tasks, whether they have a
+  description or not.
+
+* File globs in rake should not be sorted alphabetically, independent
+  of file system and platform.
+
+* Numerous internal improvements.
+
+* Documentation typos and fixes.

+
+==== Changes
+
+===== New Features / Enhancements / Bug Fixes in Version 0.9.0
+
+* Rake now warns when the deprecated :needs syntax used (and suggests
+  the proper syntax in the warning).

+  commands are no longer private methods in Object. (Suggested by
+  James M. Lawrence/quix)
+
+* Rake now uses case-insensitive comparisons to find the Rakefile on Windows.
+  Based on patch by Roger Pack.

+
+* Rake now outputs various messages to $stderr instead of $stdout.
+
+* Rake no longer emits warnings for Config.  Patch by Santiago Pastorino.
+

+* Split rake.rb into individual files.
+
+* Support for the --where (-W) flag for showing where a task is defined.
+
+* Fixed quoting in test task.

+  (http://onestepback.org/redmine/issues/show/47)
+
+* Fixed :verbose=>false flag on sh and ruby commands.

+=== 0.8.4
+
+Rake version 0.8.4 is a bug-fix release of rake.
+
+NOTE: The version of Rake that comes with Ruby 1.9 has diverged
+      slightly from the core Rake code base.  Rake 0.8.4 will work
+      with Ruby 1.9, but is not a strict upgrade for the Rake that
+      comes with Ruby 1.9.  A (near) future release of Rake will unify
+      those two codebases.
+
+==== Letter Writing Campaign
+
+Thanks to Aaron Patterson (@tenderlove) and Eric Hodel (@drbrain) for

+===== Bug Fixes in Version 0.8.3
+
+* Enhanced the system directory detection in windows. We now check
+  HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH and USERPROFILE if APPDATA isn't found. (Patch

+
+=== 0.8.2
+
+Rake version 0.8.2 is a new release of rake that includes a number of
+new features and numerous bug fixes.
+
+==== Changes
+
+===== New Features in Version 0.8.2
+
+* Switched from getoptlong to optparse (patches supplied by Edwin
+  Pratomo).
+
+* The -T option will now attempt to dynamically sense the size of the
+  terminal. The -T output will only self-truncate if the output is a
+  tty. However, if RAKE_COLUMNS is explicitly set, it will be honored
+  in any case. (Patch provided by Gavin Stark).
+
+* The following public methods have been added to rake task objects:
+
+  * task.clear -- Clear both the prerequisites and actions of the
+    target rake task.
+  * task.clear_prerequisites -- Clear all the existing prerequisites
+    from the target rake task.
+  * task.clear_actions -- Clear all the existing actions from the
+    target rake task.
+  * task.reenable -- Re-enable a task, allowing its actions to be
+    executed again if the task is invoked.
+
+* Changed RDoc test task to have no default template. This makes it
+  easier for the tempate to pick up the template from the environment.
+
+* Default values for task arguments can easily be specified with the
+  :with_defaults method. (Idea for default argument merging supplied
+  by (Adam Q. Salter)
+
+===== Bug Fixes in Version 0.8.2
+
+* Fixed bug in package task so that it will include the subdir
+  directory in the package for testing. (Bug found by Adam Majer)
+
+* Fixed filename dependency order bug in test\_inspect\_pending and
+  test\_to\_s\_pending. (Bug found by Adam Majer)
+
+* Fixed check for file utils options to make them immune to the
+  symbol/string differences. (Patch supplied by Edwin Pratomo)
+
+* Fixed bug with rules involving multiple source, where only the first
+  dependency of a rule has any effect (Patch supplied by Emanuel
+  Indermühle)
+
+* FileList#clone and FileList#dup have better sematics w.r.t. taint
+  and freeze.
+
+* Changed from using Mutex to Monitor. Evidently Mutex causes thread
+  join errors when Ruby is compiled with -disable-pthreads. (Patch
+  supplied by Ittay Dror)
+
+* Fixed bug in makefile parser that had problems with extra spaces in
+  file task names. (Patch supplied by Ittay Dror)
+
+==== Other changes in Version 0.8.2
+
+* Added ENV var to rake's own Rakefile to prevent OS X from including
+  extended attribute junk in the rake package tar file. (Bug found by
+  Adam Majer)
+
+* Added a performance patch for reading large makefile dependency
+  files. (Patch supplied by Ittay Dror)
+
+==== Task Argument Examples
+
+Prior to version 0.8.0, rake was only able to handle command line
+arguments of the form NAME=VALUE that were passed into Rake via the
+ENV hash.  Many folks had asked for some kind of simple command line
+arguments, perhaps using "--" to separate regular task names from
+argument values on the command line.  The problem is that there was no
+easy way to associate positional arguments on the command line with
+different tasks.  Suppose both tasks :a and :b expect a command line
+argument: does the first value go with :a?  What if :b is run first?
+Should it then get the first command line argument.
+
+Rake 0.8.0 solves this problem by explicitly passing values directly
+to the tasks that need them.  For example, if I had a release task
+that required a version number, I could say:
+
+   rake release[0.8.2]
+
+And the string "0.8.2" will be passed to the :release task.  Multiple
+arguments can be passed by separating them with a comma, for example:
+
+   rake name[john,doe]
+
+Just a few words of caution.  The rake task name and its arguments
+need to be a single command line argument to rake.  This generally
+means no spaces.  If spaces are needed, then the entire rake +
+argument string should be quoted.  Something like this:
+
+   rake "name[billy bob, smith]"
+
+(Quoting rules vary between operating systems and shells, so make sure
+you consult the proper docs for your OS/shell).
+
+===== Tasks that Expect Parameters
+
+Parameters are only given to tasks that are setup to expect them.  In
+order to handle named parameters, the task declaration syntax for
+tasks has been extended slightly.
+
+For example, a task that needs a first name and last name might be
+declared as:
+
+   task :name, :first_name, :last_name
+
+The first argument is still the name of the task (:name in this case).
+The next to argumements are the names of the parameters expected by
+:name (:first_name and :last_name in the example).
+
+To access the values of the parameters, the block defining the task
+behaviour can now accept a second parameter:
+
+   task :name, :first_name, :last_name do |t, args|
+     puts "First name is #{args.first_name}"
+     puts "Last  name is #{args.last_name}"
+   end
+
+The first argument of the block "t" is always bound to the current
+task object.  The second argument "args" is an open-struct like object
+that allows access to the task arguments.  Extra command line
+arguments to a task are ignored.  Missing command line arguments are
+given the nil value.

+  provided by Stephen Touset).
+
+* Rake is now compatible with Ruby 1.9.
+
+Version 0.8.1 is a minor update that includes additional Ruby 1.9
+compatibility fixes.
+
+==== Task Argument Examples
+
+Prior to version 0.8.0, rake was only able to handle command line
+arguments of the form NAME=VALUE that were passed into Rake via the
+ENV hash.  Many folks had asked for some kind of simple command line
+arguments, perhaps using "--" to separate regular task names from
+argument values on the command line.  The problem is that there was no
+easy way to associate positional arguments on the command line with
+different tasks.  Suppose both tasks :a and :b expect a command line
+argument: does the first value go with :a?  What if :b is run first?
+Should it then get the first command line argument.
+
+Rake 0.8.0 solves this problem by explicitly passing values directly
+to the tasks that need them.  For example, if I had a release task
+that required a version number, I could say:
+
+   rake release[0.8.0]
+
+And the string "0.8.0" will be passed to the :release task.  Multiple
+arguments can be passed by separating them with a comma, for example:
+
+   rake name[john,doe]
+
+Just a few words of caution.  The rake task name and its arguments
+need to be a single command line argument to rake.  This generally
+means no spaces.  If spaces are needed, then the entire rake +
+argument string should be quoted.  Something like this:
+
+   rake "name[billy bob, smith]"
+
+(Quoting rules vary between operating systems and shells, so make sure
+you consult the proper docs for your OS/shell).
+
+===== Tasks that Expect Parameters
+
+Parameters are only given to tasks that are setup to expect them.  In
+order to handle named parameters, the task declaration syntax for
+tasks has been extended slightly.
+
+For example, a task that needs a first name and last name might be
+declared as:
+
+   task :name, :first_name, :last_name
+
+The first argument is still the name of the task (:name in this case).
+The next to argumements are the names of the parameters expected by
+:name (:first_name and :last_name in the example).
+
+To access the values of the parameters, the block defining the task
+behaviour can now accept a second parameter:
+
+   task :name, :first_name, :last_name do |t, args|
+     puts "First name is #{args.first_name}"
+     puts "Last  name is #{args.last_name}"
+   end
+
+The first argument of the block "t" is always bound to the current
+task object.  The second argument "args" is an open-struct like object
+that allows access to the task arguments.  Extra command line
+arguments to a task are ignored.  Missing command line arguments are
+given the nil value.

+
+=== 0.7.3
+
+Rake version 0.7.3 is a minor release that includes some refactoring to better
+support custom Rake applications.
+
+==== Changes
+
+===== New Features in Version 0.7.3
+
+* Added the +init+ and +top_level+ methods to make the creation of custom Rake applications a bit easier.  E.g.
+
+    gem 'rake', ">= 0.7.3"
+    require 'rake'
+
+    Rake.application.init('myrake')
+
+    task :default do
+      something_interesting
+    end

+-- Jim Weirich
+
+
+=== 0.7.2
+
+
+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.

+
+=== 0.7.1
+
+Version 0.7.1 supplies a bug fix and a few minor enhancements.
+
+==== Changes
+
+===== Bug Fixes in 0.7.1
+
+* Changes in the exception reported for the FileUtils.ln caused
+  safe_ln to fail with a NotImplementedError.  Rake 0.7.1 will now
+  catch that error or any StandardError and properly fall back to
+  using +cp+.
+
+===== New Features in 0.7.1
+
+* You can filter the results of the --task option by supplying an
+  optional regular expression.  This allows the user to easily find a
+  particular task name in a long list of possible names.
+
+* Transforming procs in a rule may now return a list of prerequisites.
+  This allows more flexible rule formation.
+
+* FileList and String now support a +pathmap+ melthod that makes the
+  transforming paths a bit easier.  See the API docs for +pathmap+ for
+  details.
+
+* The -f option without a value will disable the search for a
+  Rakefile.  This allows the Rakefile to be defined entirely in a
+  library (and loaded with the -r option).  The current working
+  directory is not changed when this is done.
+
+==== 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 ...
+
+* James Britt and Assaph Mehr for reporting and helping to debug the
+  safe_ln issue.
+
+-- Jim Weirich
+
+
+=== 0.7.0
+
+These changes for Rake have been brewing for a long time.  Here they
+are, I hope you enjoy them.
+
+==== Changes
+
+===== New Features
+
+* Name space support for task names (see below).
+* Prerequisites can be executed in parallel (see below).
+* Added safe_ln support for openAFS (via Ludvig Omholt).
+* RDoc defaults to internal (in-process) invocation.  The old behavior
+  is still available by setting the +external+ flag to true.
+* Rakefiles are now loaded with the expanded path to prevent
+  accidental pollution from the Ruby load path.
+* Task objects my now be used in prerequisite lists directly.
+* Task objects (in addition to task names) may now be included in the
+  prerequisite list of a task.
+* Internals cleanup and refactoring.
+
+===== Bug Fixes
+
+* Compatibility fixes for Ruby 1.8.4 FileUtils changes.
+
+===== Namespaces
+
+Tasks can now be nested inside their own namespaces.  Tasks within one
+namespace will not accidentally interfer with tasks named in a different
+namespace.
+
+For example:
+
+  namespace "main" do
+    task :build do
+      # Build the main program
+    end
+  end
+
+  namespace "samples" do
+    task :build do
+      # Build the sample programs
+    end
+  end
+
+  task :build_all => ["main:build", "samples:build"]
+
+Even though both tasks are named :build, they are separate tasks in
+their own namespaces.  The :build_all task (defined in the toplevel
+namespace) references both build tasks in its prerequisites.
+
+You may invoke each of the individual build tasks with the following
+commands:
+
+  rake main:build
+  rake samples:build
+
+Or invoke both via the :build_all command:
+
+  rake build_all
+
+Namespaces may be nested arbitrarily.  Since the name of file tasks
+correspond to the name of a file in the external file system,
+FileTasks are not affected by the namespaces.
+
+See the Rakefile format documentation (in the Rake API documents) for
+more information.
+
+===== Parallel Tasks
+
+Sometimes you have several tasks that can be executed in parallel.  By
+specifying these tasks as prerequisites to a +multitask+ task.
+
+In the following example the tasks copy\_src, copy\_doc and copy\_bin
+will all execute in parallel in their own thread.
+
+  multitask :copy_files => [:copy_src, :copy_doc, :copy_bin] do
+    puts "All Copies Complete"
+  end
+
+==== 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 ...
+
+* Doug Young (inspiration for the parallel task)
+* David Heinemeier Hansson (for --trace message enhancement and for
+  pushing for namespace support).
+* Ludvig Omholt (for the openAFS fix)
+
+-- Jim Weirich
+
+=== 0.6.1
+
+* Rebuilt 0.6.0 gem without signing.
+
+=== 0.6.0
+
+Its time for some long requested enhancements and lots of bug fixes
+... And a whole new web page.
+
+==== New Web Page
+
+The primary documentation for rake has moved from the RubyForge based
+wiki to its own Hieraki based web site.  Constant spam on the wiki
+made it a difficult to keep clean.  The new site will be easier to
+update and organize.
+
+Check out the new documentation at: http://docs.rubyrake.org
+
+We will be adding new documentation to the site as time goes on.
+
+In addition to the new docs page, make sure you check out Martin
+Fowlers article on rake at http://martinfowler.com/articles/rake.html
+
+==== Changes
+
+===== New Features
+
+* Multiple prerequisites on Rake rules now allowed.  However, keep the
+  following in mind:
+
+  1. All the prerequisites of a rule must be available before a rule
+     is triggered, where "enabled" means (a) an existing file, (b) a
+     defined rule, or (c) another rule which also must be
+     trigger-able.
+  2. Rules are checked in order of definition, so it is important to
+     order your rules properly.  If a file can be created by two
+     different rules, put the more specific rule first (otherwise the
+     more general rule will trigger first and the specific one will
+     never be triggered).
+  3. The <tt>source</tt> method now returns the name of the first
+     prerequisite listed in the rule.  <tt>sources</tt> returns the
+     names of all the rule prerequisites, ordered as they are defined
+     in the rule.  If the task has other prerequisites not defined in
+     the rule (but defined in an explicit task definition), then they
+     will _not_ be included in the sources list.
+
+* FileLists may now use the egrep command.  This popular enhancement
+  is now a core part of the FileList object.  If you want to get a
+  list of all your to-dos, fixmes and TBD comments, add the following
+  to your Rakefile.
+
+    desc "Look for TODO and FIXME tags in the code"
+    task :todo do
+      FileList['**/*.rb'].egrep /#.*(FIXME|TODO|TBD)/
+    end
+
+* The <tt>investigation</tt> method was added to task object to dump
+  out some important values.  This makes it a bit easier to debug Rake
+  tasks.
+
+  For example, if you are having problems with a particular task, just
+  print it out:
+
+    task :huh do
+      puts Rake::Task['huh'].investigation
+    end
+
+* The Rake::TestTask class now supports a "ruby\_opts" option to pass
+  arbitrary ruby options to a test subprocess.
+
+===== Some Incompatibilities
+
+* When using the <tt>ruby</tt> command to start a Ruby subprocess, the
+  Ruby interpreter that is currently running rake is used by default.
+  This makes it easier to use rake in an environment with multiple
+  ruby installation.  (Previously, the first ruby command found in the
+  PATH was used).
+
+  If you wish to chose a different Ruby interpreter, you can
+  explicitly choose the interpreter via the <tt>sh</tt> command.
+
+* The major rake classes (Task, FileTask, FileCreationTask, RakeApp)
+  have been moved out of the toplevel scope and are now accessible as
+  Rake::Task, Rake::FileTask, Rake::FileCreationTask and
+  Rake::Application.  If your Rakefile
+  directly references any one of these tasks, you may:
+
+  1. Update your Rakefile to use the new classnames
+  2. Use the --classic-namespace option on the rake command to get the
+     old behavior,
+  3. Add <code>require 'rake/classic_namespace'</code> to the
+     Rakefile to get the old behavior.
+
+  <tt>rake</tt> will print a rather annoying warning whenever a
+  deprecated class name is referenced without enabling classic
+  namespace.
+
+===== Bug Fixes
+
+* Several unit tests and functional tests were fixed to run better
+  under windows.
+
+* Directory tasks are now a specialized version of a File task.  A
+  directory task will only be triggered if it doesn't exist.  It will
+  not be triggered if it is out of date w.r.t. any of its
+  prerequisites.
+
+* Fixed a bug in the Rake::GemPackageTask class so that the gem now
+  properly contains the platform name.
+
+* Fixed a bug where a prerequisite on a <tt>file</tt> task would cause
+  an exception if the prerequisite did not exist.
+

+
+As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes.
+The following people either contributed patches, made suggestions or

+
+=== 0.5.4
+
+Time for some minor bug fixes and small enhancements
+
+==== Changes
+
+Here are the changes for version 0.5.4 ...
+
+* Added double quotes to the test runner.  This allows the location of
+  the tests (and runner) to be in a directory path that contains
+  spaces (e.g. "C:/Program Files/ruby/bin").
+* Added .svn to default ignore list.  Now subversion project metadata
+  is automatically ignored by Rake's FileList.
+* Updated FileList#include to support nested arrays and filelists.
+  FileLists are flat lists of file names.  Using a FileList in an
+  include will flatten out the nested file names.
+
+== Thanks
+
+As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes.
+Thanks to ...
+
+* Tilman Sauerbeck for the nested FileList suggestion.
+* Josh Knowles for pointing out the spaces in directory name problem.
+
+-- Jim Weirich
+
+=== 0.5.3
+
+Although it has only been two weeks since the last release, we have
+enough updates to the Rake program to make it time for another
+release.
+
+==== Changes
+
+Here are the changes for version 0.5.3 ...
+
+* FileLists have been extensively changed so that they mimic the
+  behavior of real arrays even more closely.  In particular,
+  operations on FileLists that return a new collection (e.g. collect,
+  reject) will now return a FileList rather than an array.  In
+  addition, several places where FileLists were not properly expanded
+  before use have been fixed.
+* A method (+ext+) to simplify the handling of file extensions was
+  added to String and to Array.
+* The 'testrb' script in test/unit tends to silently swallow syntax
+  errors in test suites.  Because of that, the default test loader is
+  now a rake-provided script.  You can still use 'testrb' by setting
+  the loader flag in the test task to :testrb.  (See the API documents
+  for TestTask for all the loader flag values).
+* FileUtil methods (e.g. cp, mv, install) are now declared to be
+  private.  This will cut down on the interference with user defined
+  methods of the same name.
+* Fixed the verbose flag in the TestTask so that the test code is
+  controlled by the flag.  Also shortened up some failure messages.
+  (Thanks to Tobias Luetke for the suggestion).
+* Rules will now properly detect a task that can generate a source
+  file.  Previously rules would only consider source files that were
+  already present.
+* Added an +import+ command that allows Rake to dynamically import
+  dependendencies into a running Rake session.  The +import+ command
+  can run tasks to update the dependency file before loading them.
+  Dependency files can be in rake or make format, allowing rake to
+  work with tools designed to generate dependencies for make.
+
+==== Thanks
+
+As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes.
+Thanks to ...
+
+* Brian Gernhardt for the rules fix (especially for the patience to
+  explain the problem to me until I got what he was talking about).
+* Stefan Lang for pointing out problems in the dark corners of the
+  FileList implementation.
+* Alexey Verkhovsky pointing out the silently swallows syntax errors
+  in tests.
+* Tobias Luetke for beautifying the test task output.
+* Sam Roberts for some of the ideas behind dependency loading.

+
+
+=== 0.5.0
+
+It has been a long time in coming, but we finally have a new version
+of Rake available.
+
+==== Changes
+
+* Fixed documentation that was lacking the Rake module name (Tilman
+  Sauerbeck).
+* Added tar.gz and tar.bz2 support to package task (Tilman Sauerbeck).
+* Recursive rules are now supported (Tilman Sauerbeck).
+* Added warning option for the Test Task (requested by Eric Hodel).
+* The jamis rdoc template is only used if it exists.
+* Added fix for Ruby 1.8.2 test/unit and rails problem.
+* Added contributed rake man file (Jani Monoses).
+* Added Brian Candler's fix for problems in --trace and --dry-run
+  mode.
+
+==== Thanks
+
+Lots of people provided input to this release.  Thanks to Tilman
+Sauerbeck for numerous patches, documentation fixes and suggestions.
+And for also pushing me to get this release out.  Also, thanks to
+Brian Candler for the finding and fixing --trace/dry-run fix.  That
+was an obscure bug.  Also to Eric Hodel for some good suggestions.
+
+-- Jim Weirich
+
+=== 0.4.15
+
+==== Changes
+
+Version 0.4.15 is a bug fix update for the Ruby 1.8.2 compatibility
+changes.  This release includes:
+
+* Fixed a bug that prevented the TESTOPTS flag from working with the
+  revised for 1.8.2 test task.
+* Updated the docs on --trace to indicate that it also enables a full
+  backtrace on errors.
+* Several fixes for new warnings generated.
+
+==== Mini-Roadmap
+
+I will continue to issue Rake updates in the 0.4.xx series as new
+Ruby-1.8.2 issues become manifest.  Once the codebase stabilizes, I
+will release a 0.5.0 version incorporating all the changes.  If you
+are not using Ruby-1.8.2 and wish to avoid version churn, I recommend
+staying with a release prior to Rake-0.4.14.
+
+=== 0.4.14
+
+Version 0.4.14 is a compatibility fix to allow Rake's test task to
+work under Ruby 1.8.2.  A change in the Test::Unit autorun feature
+prevented Rake from running any tests.  This release fixes the
+problem.
+
+Rake 0.4.14 is the recommended release for anyone using Ruby 1.8.2.
+
+=== 0.4.13
+
+* Fixed the dry-run flag so it is operating again.
+* Multiple arguments to sh and ruby commands will not be interpreted
+  by the shell (patch provided by Jonathan Paisley).
+
+=== 0.4.12
+
+* Added --silent (-s) to suppress the (in directory) rake message.
+
+=== 0.4.11
+
+* Changed the "don't know how to rake" message (finally)
+* Changes references to a literal "Rakefile" to reference the global
+  variable $rakefile (which contains the actual name of the rakefile).
+
+=== 0.4.10
+
+* Added block support to the "sh" command, allowing users to take
+  special actions on the result of the system call.  E.g.
+
+    sh "shell_command" do |ok, res|
+      puts "Program returned #{res.exitstatus}" if ! ok
+    end
+
+=== 0.4.9
+
+* Switched to Jamis Buck's RDoc template.
+* Removed autorequire from Rake's gem spec.  This prevents the Rake
+  libraries from loading while using rails.
+
+=== 0.4.8
+
+* Added support for .rb versions of Rakefile.
+* Removed \\\n's from test task.
+* Fixed Ruby 1.9 compatibility issue with FileList.
+
+=== 0.4.7
+
+* Fixed problem in FileList that caused Ruby 1.9 to go into infinite
+  recursion.  Since to_a was removed from Object, it does not need to
+  added back into the list of methods to rewrite in FileList.  (Thanks
+  to Kent Sibilev for pointing this out).
+
+=== 0.4.6
+* Removed test version of ln in FileUtils that prevented safe_ln from
+  using ln.
+
+=== 0.4.5
+* Upgraded comments in TestTask.
+* FileList to_s and inspect now automatically resolve pending changes.
+* FileList#exclude properly returns the FileList.
+
+=== 0.4.4
+* Fixed initialization problem with @comment.
+* Now using multi -r technique in TestTask.  Switch Rakefile back to
+  using the built-in test task macros because the rake runtime is no
+  longer needed.
+* Added 'TEST=filename' and 'TESTOPTS=options' to the Test Task
+  macros.
+* Allow a +test_files+ attribute in test tasks.  This allows more
+  flexibility in specifying test files.
+
+=== 0.4.3
+* Fixed Comment leakage.
+
+=== 0.4.2
+* Added safe_ln that falls back to a copy if a file link is not supported.
+* Package builder now uses safe\_ln.
+
+=== 0.4.1
+* Task comments are now additive, combined with "/".
+* Works with (soon to be released) rubygems 0.6.2 (or 0.7.0)
+
+=== 0.4.0
+* FileList now uses deferred loading.  The file system is not searched
+  until the first call that needs the file names.
+* VAR=VALUE options are now accepted on the command line and are
+  treated like environment variables.  The values may be tested in a
+  Rakefile by referencing ENV['VAR'].
+* File.mtime is now used (instead of File.new().mtime).
+
+=== 0.3.2.x
+
+* Removed some hidden dependencies on rubygems.  Tests now will test
+  gems only if they are installed.
+* Removed Sys from some example files.  I believe that is that last
+  reference to Sys outside of the contrib area.
+* Updated all copyright notices to include 2004.
+
+=== 0.3.2
+
+* GEM Installation now works with the application stub.
+
+=== 0.3.1
+
+* FileLists now automatically ignore CVS, .bak, !
+* GEM Installation now works.
+
+=== 0.3.0
+
+Promoted 0.2.10.
+
+=== 0.2.10
+General
+
+* Added title to Rake's rdocs
+* Contrib packages are no longer included in the documentation.
+
+RDoc Issues
+
+* Removed default for the '--main' option
+* Fixed rendering of the rdoc options
+* Fixed clean/clobber confusion with rerdoc
+* 'title' attribute added
+
+Package Task Library Issues
+
+* Version (or explicit :noversion) is required.
+* +package_file+ attribute is now writable
+
+FileList Issues
+
+* Dropped bang version of exclude.  Now using ant-like include/exclude semantics.
+* Enabled the "yield self" idiom in FileList#initialize.
+
+=== 0.2.9
+
+This version contains numerous changes as the RubyConf.new(2003)
+presentation was being prepared.  The changes include:
+
+* The monolithic rubyapp task library is in the process of being
+  dropped in favor of lighter weight task libraries.
