+= Announce: RubyGems Release 0.8.7
+
+Time passes quickly, and so does software development.  Release 0.8.7
+of RubyGems is availble for public release.  Although another point
+release, you will find a number of very nice new features.
+
+First the numbers, 220 different gems available, over 25,000
+downloads of RubyGems, and nearly 190,000 gems downloads.  Thanks to
+everyone for their support.
+
+== What's New
+
+Even though it has only been a few weeks since that last release,
+there are quite a number of new features in 0.8.7.  A complete list of
+new features will be given below, but here is a summary of the hot
+items.
+
+* The bug that prevented some users from installing rails has been
+  squashed.  A big thanks to Bill Guindon (aGorilla) for helping track
+  that one down.
+
+There are several new commands available on the gem command:
+
+* gem cleanup GEMNAME -- Cleanup (uninstall) all the old versions of
+  gem.  If the gem name is omitted, the entire repository is cleaned.
+
+* gem dependency GEMNAME -- Show the dependencies for the named gems.
+  This is really helpful when trying to figure out what gem needs what
+  other gem.
+
+There changes to the existing commands as well.
+
+* gem uninstall is much smarter about removing gems from the
+  repository.  Lists of gems are now uninstalled in proper dependency
+  order (ie. if A depends on B, A is uninstalled first).  Also,
+  warnings about broken dependencies occur only when removing the
+  *last* gem that supports a dependency is removed.
+
+Both gem install and gem uninstall support some new command line
+options that can reduce the amount of yes/no queries given the user.
+For install we have:
+
+* --ignore-dependencies -- Only install requests gems, no
+  dependendecies are automatically installed.
+* --include-dependencies -- Automatically install dependencies,
+  without confirmation.
+
+For gem uninstall, the new options are:
+
+* --all -- Uninstall all matching gems without confirmation.
+* --ignore-dependencies -- Uninstall, even if dependencies are broken.
+* --executables -- Remove executables without confirmation
+
+Under general cleanup, gems will not, by default, run RDoc on packages
+that do not have the RDoc flag set.
+
+And finally there is a new library file 'gemconfigure' to aid in
+writing version sensitive applications (without undue dependencies on
+RubyGems); and 'gemwhich', a short script to locate libraries in the
+file system.  You can read more about them here:
+
+* gemconfigure: http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/4#page73
+* gemwhich: http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/17
+
+== What is RubyGems?
+
+RubyGems is a package management system for Ruby applications and
+libraries.  RubyGems one command download makes installing Ruby software
+fun and enjoyable again. (Ok, not really.)
+
+Many gems are available for download from the RubyForge site.  Browse
+the list of gems with a "gem list --remote" command and download what
+you need with a simple "gem install <name-of-gem>".  RubyGems takes care
+of the details of installing, not only the gem you requested, but also
+any gems needed by the software you selected.
+
+== How can I get all this great stuff?
+
+Well, here's how ...
+
+To download and install:
+
+1. DOWNLOAD FROM: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
+2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE
+3. INSTALL WITH:  ruby setup.rb all  (you may need admin/root privilege)
+
+... or, if you have RubyGems version 0.8.5 or later ....
+
+  $ gem update --system   (again, might need to be admin/root)
+
+... If you don't have a recent RubyGems, you can still do the two-step ....
+
+  $ gem install rubygems-update  (again, might need to be admin/root)
+  $ update_rubygems              (... here too)
+
+== Detailed Change List
+
+This list touches on most of the user visible changes in the RubyGems
+change log.  See the change log file for even more details.
+
+* Fixed bug in cache manager that caused the cache to be reread every
+  time on Windows.
+
+* Removed annoying message about not finding .gemrc.
+
+* Uninstall command will now accept the following options:
+  * --all (uninstall all matches without query),
+  * --ignore-dependencies (ignore dependency constraints while
+    uninstalling),
+  * --executables (remove the executables without querying).
+
+* New command: "gem cleanup" will remove all old versions of the list
+  gems (or the entire repository).
+
+* Uninstalling now will only query if removing a gem actually will
+  cause a dependency to be unfulfilled.
+
+* A new library file "gemconfigure.rb" makes is easy to take advantage
+  of dynamic versioning without becoming tied to using RubyGems.
+
+* Source URIs given to the --source option will now assume an
+  "http://" prefix if one is not given.
+
+* New Command: "gem dependency" will show the dependency requirements
+  of any installed gem.  Reverse dependencies are also supported.
+
+== Thanks
+
+Thanks to David Heinemeier Hansson for a number of suggestions that
+made it into this release.  Also thanks go to Bill Guindon (aGorilla)
+and Jim Freeze for feedback and testing of intermediate versions.
+
+Keep those gems coming!
+

+= Announce: RubyGems Release 0.9.0
+
+Finally, the much anticipated RubyGems version 0.9.0 is now available.
+This release includes a number of new features and bug fixes.  The
+number one change is that we can now download the gem index
+incrementally.  This will greatly speed up the gem command when only a
+few gems are out of date.
+
+Major Enhancments include:
+
+* The gem index is now downloaded incrementally, only updating entries
+  that are out of date.  If more than 50 entries are out of date, we
+  revert back to a bulk download.
+* Several patches related to allowing RubyGems to work with
+  authenticating proxies (from Danie Roux and Anatol Pomozov).  Just
+  put the user and password in the proxy URL (e.g. -p
+  http://user:password@proxy.address.com:8080) or use the
+  HTTP_PROXY_USER and HTTP_PROXY_PASS environment variables.
+* The gem unpack command can now accept a file path rather than just a
+  install gem name.
+* Both RI and RDOC documents are now generated by default.
+* A gemri command is included to read gem RI docs (only needed for
+  Ruby 1.8.4 or earlier).
+
+Minor enhancements include:  
+
+* Verison 0.0.0 is now a valid gem version.
+* Better detection of missing SSL functionality.
+* SSL is not required if the security policy does not require
+  signature checking.
+* Rake built extensions are now supported (Tilman Sauerbeck).
+* Several autorequire bug fixes.
+* --traceback is now an alias for --backtrace (I can never remember
+  which one it is).
+* SAFE=1 compatibility fixes.
+* .rbw is now a supported suffix for RubyGem's custom require.
+* Several Ruby 1.9 compatibility fixes (Eric Hodel).
+
+Bug Fixes:
+
+* Added dashes to gemspecs generated in Ruby 1.8.3.  This solves some
+  cross-Ruby version compatibility issues.
+* Fixed bug where the wrong executables could be uninstalled (Eric
+  Hodel).
+* Fixed bug where gem unpack occasionally unpacked the wrong gem.
+* Fixed bug where a fatal error occured when permissions on .gemrc
+  were too restrictive (reported by Luca Pireddu).
+* Fixed prefix handling for native expressions (patch by Aaron Patterson).
+* Fixed several Upgrade => Update typos.

+* Over 4 million gem downloads
+
+If you are interested in finding out when new gems are released, I
+maintain an RSS feed at http://onestepback.org/gemwatch.rss.
+
+== How can I get RubyGems?
+
+If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all
+you need to do is:
+
+  $ gem update --system   (you might need to be admin/root)
+
+(Note: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly
+installed rubygems-update gems).
+
+If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still
+do it in two steps:
+
+  $ gem install rubygems-update  (again, might need to be admin/root)
+  $ update_rubygems              (... here too)
+
+If you don't have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem
+approach to getting software ... doing it manually:
+

+2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE
+3. INSTALL WITH:  ruby setup.rb all  (you may need admin/root privilege)
+
+== What's Next
+
+The next big thing on the plate is to integrate the local/remote gem
+logic and make the whole thing more consistent.

+= Announce: RubyGems Release 0.9.3
+
+Release 0.9.3 is a maintenance release of RubyGems that fixes a problem
+with ZLib on Windows playforms.
+
+If you are experiencing "Buffer Error" problems with RubyGems, we
+recommend upgrading to RubyGems 0.9.3.
+
+Bug Fixes Include:
+
+The ZLib library on Windows will occasionally complains about a buffer
+error when unpacking gems.  The Gems software has a workaround for
+that problem, but the workaround was only enabled for versions of ZLib
+1.2.1 or earlier.  We have received several reports of the error
+occuring with ZLib 1.2.3, so we have permanently enabled the work

+= Announce: RubyGems Release 0.9.4
+
+Release 0.9.4 is a maintenance release of RubyGems that fixes a number of small bugs.
+
+If you are experiencing problems with the source index (e.g. strange
+"No Method" errors), or problems with zlib (e.g. "Buffer Error"
+messsage), we recommend upgrading to RubyGems 0.9.4.
+
+Bug Fixes Include:
+
+* Several people have been experiencing problems with no method errors
+  on the source index cache.  The source index cache is now a bit more
+  self healing.  Furthermore, if the source index cache is
+  irreparable, then it is automatically dropped and reloaded.
+
+* The source cache files may now be dropped with the "gem sources
+  --clear-all" command.  (This command may require root is the system
+  source cache is in a root protected area).

+* Several sub-commands were accidently dropped from the "gem" command.
