-=== 0.9.3
+=== 10.1.0
-* The rake test loader now removes arguments it has processed.  Issue #51
-* Rake::TaskArguments now responds to #values_at
-* RakeFileUtils.verbose_flag = nil silences output the same as 0.8.7
-* Rake tests are now directory-independent
-* Rake tests are no longer require flexmock
-* Commands constant is no longer polluting top level namespace.
-* Show only the interesting portion of the backtrace by default (James M. Lawrence).
-* Added --reduce-compat optiont to remove backward compatible DSL hacks (James M. Lawrence).
-* lib/rake/file_list.rb (Rake::FileList#egrep): there is no need to
-  open files in binary mode. (NAKAMURA Usaku)
+==== Changes
-=== 0.9.2
+===== New Features
-* Unknown
+* Add support for variable length task argument lists. If more actual
+  arguments are supplied than named arguments, then the extra
+  arguments values will be in args.extras.
-=== 0.9.1
+* Application name is not displayed in the help banner. (Previously
+  "rake" was hardcoded, now rake-based applications can display their
+  own names).
-* Added deprecation warnings to the Rake DSL methods.
+===== Bug Fixes
-=== 0.9.0
+Bug fixes include:
-* *Incompatible* *change*: Rake DSL commands ('task', 'file', etc.)  are
-  no longer private methods in Object.  If you need to call 'task :xzy' inside
-  your class, include Rake::DSL into the class.  The DSL is still available at
-  the top level scope (via the top level object which extends Rake::DSL).
+* Fix backtrace suppression issues.
-* Rake now warns when the deprecated :needs syntax used.
+* Rules now explicit get task arguments passed to them.
-* Rake history is now UTF-8 encoded.
+* Rename FileList#exclude? to FileList#exclude\_from\_list? to avoid
+  conflict with new Rails method.
-* Rake now uses case-insensitive comparisons to find the Rakefile on Windows.
-  Based on patch by Roger Pack.
+* Clean / Clobber tasks now report failure to remove files.
-* Rake now requires (instead of loads) files in the test task.  Patch by Cezary
-  Baginski.
+* Plus heaps of internal code cleanup.
-* Fixed typos.  Patches by Sean Scot August Moon and R.T. Lechow.
+==== Thanks
-* Rake now prints the Rakefile directory only when it's different from the
-  current directory.  Patch by Alex Chaffee.
+As usual, it was input from users that drove a lot of these changes.
+The following people contributed patches, made suggestions or made
+otherwise helpful comments. Thanks to ...
-* Improved rakefile_location discovery on Windows.  Patch by James Tucker.
+* Michael Nikitochkin (general code cleanup)
+* Vipul A M (general code cleanup)
+* Dennis Bell (variable length task argument lists)
+* Jacob Swanner (rules arguments)
+* Rafael Rosa Fu (documentation typo)
+* Stuart Nelson (install.rb fixes)
+* Lee Hambley (application name in help banner)
-* Rake now recognizes "Windows Server" as a windows system.  Patch by Matthias
-  Lüdtke
+-- Jim Weirich
-* Rake::RDocTask is deprecated.  Use RDoc::Task from RDoc 2.4.2+ (require
-  'rdoc/task')
+=== 10.0.3
-* Rake::GemPackageTask is deprecated.  Use Gem::PackageTask (require
-  'rubygems/package_task')
+  "Jim, when will Rake reach version 1.0?"
-* Rake now outputs various messages to $stderr instead of $stdout.
+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.
-* Rake no longer emits warnings for Config.  Patch by Santiago Pastorino.
+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.
-* Split rake.rb into individual files.
+So, welcome to Rake 10.0!
-* Support for the --where (-W) flag for showing where a task is defined.
+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.
-* Fixed quoting in test task.
-  (http://onestepback.org/redmine/issues/show/44,
-  http://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/1223138)
+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.
-* Fixed the silent option parsing problem.
-  (http://onestepback.org/redmine/issues/show/47)
+==== Changes
-* Fixed :verbose=>false flag on sh and ruby commands.
+As mentioned above, there are no new features in Rake 10. However,
+there are a number of features missing:
-* Rake command line options may be given by default in a RAKEOPT
-  environment variable.
+* 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.
-* Errors in Rake will now display the task invocation chain in effect
-  at the time of the error.
+* 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.
-* Accepted change by warnickr to not expand test patterns in shell
-  (allowing more files in the test suite).
+* 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.
-* Fixed that file tasks did not perform prereq lookups in scope
-  (Redmine #57).
+  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.
-=== 0.8.7
+* The deprecated syntax for task arguments (the one using
+  <tt>:needs</tt>) has been removed.
-* Fixed EXEEXT for JRuby on windows.
+* The <tt>--reduce-compat</tt> flag has been removed (it's not needed
+  anymore).
-=== 0.8.6
+* The deprecated <tt>rake/sys.rb</tt> library has been removed.
-* Minor fixes to the RDoc generation (removed dependency on darkfish
-  and removed inline source option).
+* The deprecated <tt>rake/rdoctask.rb</tt> library has been removed.
+  RDoc supplies its own rake task now.
-* Now allow # comments to comment a task definition.
+* The deprecated <tt>rake/gempackagetask.rb</tt> library has been
+  removed. Gem supplies its own package task now.
-=== 0.8.5
+There is one small behavioral change:
-* Better support for the system command on Windows.
+* 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.
-=== 0.8.4
+==== Changes (from 0.9.3, 0.9.4, 0.9.5)
-* Preserve case when locating rakefiles (patch from James
-  M. Lawrence/quix)
+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.
-* Better support for windows paths in the test task (patch from Simon
-  Chiang/bahuvrihi)
+===== New Features (in 0.9.3)
-* Windows system dir search order is now: HOME, HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH,
-  APPDATA, USERPROFILE (patch from Luis Lavena)
+* Multitask tasks now use a thread pool. Use -j to limit the number of
+  available threads.
-* MingGW is now recognized as a windows platform.  (patch from Luis
-  Lavena)
+* Use -m to turn regular tasks into multitasks (use at your own risk).
-* Numerous fixes to the windows test suite (patch from Luis Lavena).
+* You can now do "Rake.add_rakelib 'dir'" in your Rakefile to
+  programatically add rake task libraries.
-* Improved Rakefile case insensitivity testing (patch from Luis
-  Lavena).
+* You can specific backtrace suppression patterns (see
+  --suppress-backtrace)
-* Fixed stray ARGV option problem that was interfering with
-  Test::Unit::Runner.
+* Directory tasks can now take prerequisites and actions
-* Fixed default verbose mode (was accidently changed to false).
+* Use --backtrace to request a full backtrace without the task trace.
-* Removed reference to manage_gem to fix the warning produced by the
-  gem package task.
+* You can say "--backtrace=stdout" and "--trace=stdout" to route trace
+  output to standard output rather than standard error.
-=== 0.8.3
+* Optional 'phony' target (enable with 'require 'rake/phony'") for
+  special purpose builds.
-* 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.
+* Task#clear now clears task comments as well as actions and
+  prerequisites. Task#clear_comment will specifically target comments.
-* Added fix to handle ruby installations in directories with spaces in
-  their name.
+* The --all option will force -T and -D to consider all the tasks,
+  with and without descriptions.
-=== 0.8.2
+===== Bug Fixes (in 0.9.3)
-* Fixed bug in package task so that it will include the subdir
-  directory in the package for testing. (Bug found by Adam Majer)
+* Semi-colons in windows rakefile paths now work.
-* Added ENV var to rakefile to prevent OS X from including extended
-  attribute junk in a tar file. (Bug found by Adam Majer)
+* Improved Control-C support when invoking multiple test suites.
-* Fixed filename dependency order bug in test_inspect_pending and
-  test_to_s_pending. (Bug found by Adam Majer)
+* egrep method now reads files in text mode (better support for
+  Windows)
-* Fixed check for file utils options to make them immune to the
-  symbol/string differences. (Patch supplied by Edwin Pratomo)
+* Better deprecation line number reporting.
-* Fixed bug with rules involving multiple source (Patch supplied by
-  Emanuel Indermühle)
+* The -W option now works with all tasks, whether they have a
+  description or not.
-* Switched from getoptlong to optparse (patches supplied by Edwin
-  Pratomo)
+* File globs in rake should not be sorted alphabetically, independent
+  of file system and platform.
-* The -T option will now attempt to dynamically sense the size of the
-  terminal.  RAKE_COLUMNS will override any dynamic sensing.
+* Numerous internal improvements.
-* FileList#clone and FileList#dup have better sematics w.r.t. taint
-  and freeze.
+* Documentation typos and fixes.
-* Added ability clear prerequisites, and/or actions from an existing
-  task.
+===== Bug Fixes (in 0.9.4)
-* Added the ability to reenable a task to be invoked a second time.
+* Exit status with failing tests is not correctly set to non-zero.
-* Changed RDoc test task to have no default template. This makes it
-  easier for the tempate to pick up the template from the environment.
+* Simplified syntax for phony task (for older versions of RDoc).
-* Changed from using Mutex to Monitor. Evidently Mutex causes thread
-  join errors when Ruby is compiled with -disable-pthreads. (Patch
-  supplied by Ittay Dror)
+* Stand alone FileList usage gets glob function (without loading in
+  extra dependencies)
-* Fixed bug in makefile parser that had problems with extra spaces in
-  file task names. (Patch supplied by Ittay Dror)
+===== Bug Fixes (in 0.9.5)
-* Added a performance patch for reading large makefile dependency
-  files. (Patch supplied by Ittay Dror)
+* --trace and --backtrace no longer swallow following task names.
-* Default values for task arguments can easily be specified with the
-  :with_defaults method. (Idea for default argument merging supplied
-  by (Adam Q. Salter)
+==== Thanks
-* 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).
+As usual, it was input from users that drove a lot of these changes. The
+following people contributed patches, made suggestions or made
+otherwise helpful comments.  Thanks to ...
-* Numerous fixes for running under windows. A big thanks to Bheeshmar
-  Redheendran for spending a good part of the afternoon at the
-  Lonestar Ruby Conference to help me work out these issues.

+==== Changes
-=== 0.7.3
+===== Bug Fixes
-* Added existing and existing! methods to FileList

-  from the FileUtil module.
-* Added init and top_level for custom rake applications.
+* --trace and --backtrace no longer swallow following task names.
-=== 0.7.2
+==== Thanks

-  Payton Quackenbush).
-* Better error handling on invalid command line arguments (from Payton
-  Quackenbush).
-* Added rcov task and updated unit testing for better code coverage.

+=== 0.9.3
+Rake version 0.9.3 contains some new, backwards compatible features and
+a number of bug fixes.
+==== Changes
+===== 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).
+* 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.

+  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).

+=== 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

+===== New Features / Enhancements in Version 0.8.4
+* Case is preserved on rakefile names. (patch from James
+  M. Lawrence/quix)

+=== 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.

+* Tasks can now receive command line parameters.  See the examples
+  below for more details.
+* Comments are limited to 80 columns on output, but full comments can

+  Buck).
+* Explicit exit(n) calls will now set the exit status to n. (patch

+=== 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.

+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.

+=== 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.
+==== 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 ...
+* Greg Fast (better ruby_opt test options)
+* Kelly Felkins (requested by better namespace support)
+* Martin Fowler (suggested Task.investigation)
+* Stuart Jansen (send initial patch for multiple prerequisites).
+* Masao Mutch (better support for non-ruby Gem platforms)
+* Philipp Neubeck (patch for file task exception fix)
+-- Jim Weirich
+=== 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.
+-- Jim Weirich
+=== 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.
-* Modified the TestTask to workaround the Ruby 1.8.2 change in
-  autoexecuting unit tests.
+Rake 0.4.14 is the recommended release for anyone using Ruby 1.8.2.
