+* 1 major enhancement:
+  * Added method_missing to Random class, which looks for a method_name.dat and fetches a random line for you (see docs for details) (Hugh Sasse)
+  * added Random.date_between method to get a date between 2 given dates (Paul Barry)
+  * added Random.boolean method to get a random true or false (Paul Barry)

+= random_data
+
+This gem provides a Random singleton class with a series of methods for generating random test data including names, mailing addresses, dates, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and text.  Instead of:
+
+<tt>foo.name = "John Doe"</tt>
+
+You get:
+
+<tt>foo.name = "#{Random.firstname} #{Random.initial} #{Random.lastname}"</tt>
+
+== Installation
+
+<tt>sudo gem install random_data</tt>
+
+or get the gem manually from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=4458
+
