-= Rake 0.8.3 Released
-
-Rake version 0.8.3 is a bug-fix release of rake.
-
-== Changes
-
-=== 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
-  supplied by James Tucker). Rake no long aborts if it can't find the
-  directory.
-
-* Added fix to handle ruby installations in directories with spaces in
-  their name.
-
-== 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
-
-== 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[0.8.3]
-
-And the string "0.8.3" 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 paramters, 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.
-
-== 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 ...

-* Gavin Stark
-* Adam Q. Salter
-* Adam Majer

-= Rake 0.8.4 Released
-
-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
-their encouraging support in organizing a letter writing campaign to

-goes to Jonathan D. Lord, Sr (Dr. Wingnut) whose postcard was the
-first to actually reach me. (see
-http://tenderlovemaking.com/2009/02/26/we-need-a-new-version-of-rake/
-for details)

-  Lavena).
-
-* Windows system dir search order is now: HOME, HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH,
-  APPDATA, USERPROFILE (patch from Luis Lavena)
-
-* MingGW is now recognized as a windows platform.  (patch from Luis
-  Lavena)
-
-=== Bug Fixes in Version 0.8.4
-
-* Removed reference to manage_gem to fix the warning produced by the
-  gem package task.
-
-* Fixed stray ARGV option problem that was interfering with
-  Test::Unit::Runner. (patch from Pivotal Labs)
-
-=== Infrastructure Improvements in Version 0.8.4
-

-
-* Improved Rakefile case insensitivity testing (patch from Luis
-  Lavena).

-= Rake 0.9.0 Released
-
-Rake version 0.9.0 has a number of bug fixes and enhancments (see
-below for more details).  Additionally, the internals have be slightly
-restructured and improved.
-
-== 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).
-
-* Moved Rake DSL commands to top level ruby object 'main'.  Rake DSL
-  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 requires (instead of loads) files in the test task.  Patch by Cezary
-  Baginski.
-
-* Fixed typos.  Patches by Sean Scot August Moon and R.T. Lechow.
-
-* Rake now prints the Rakefile directory only when it's different from the
-  current directory.  Patch by Alex Chaffee.
-
-* Improved rakefile_location discovery on Windows.  Patch by James Tucker.
-
-* Rake now recognizes "Windows Server" as a windows system.  Patch by Matthias
-  Lüdtke
-
-* Rake::RDocTask is deprecated.  Use RDoc::Task from RDoc 2.4.2+ (require
-  'rdoc/task')
-
-* Rake::GemPackageTask is deprecated.  Use Gem::PackageTask (require
-  'rubygems/package_task')
-
-* Rake now outputs various messages to $stderr instead of $stdout.
-
-* Rake no longer emits warnings for Config.  Patch by Santiago Pastorino.
-
-* Removed Rake's DSL methods from the top level scope.  If you need to
-  call 'task :xzy' in your code, include Rake::DSL into your class, or
-  put the code in a Rake::DSL.environment do ... end block.
-
-* 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/44,
-  http://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/1223138)
-
-* Fixed the silent option parsing problem.
-  (http://onestepback.org/redmine/issues/show/47)
-
-* Fixed :verbose=>false flag on sh and ruby commands.
-
-* Rake command line options may be given by default in a RAKEOPT
-  environment variable.
-
-* Errors in Rake will now display the task invocation chain in effect
-  at the time of the error.
-
-* Accepted change by warnickr to not expand test patterns in shell
-  (allowing more files in the test suite).
-
-* Fixed that file tasks did not perform prereq lookups in scope
-  (Redmine #57).
