= Rake 0.9.4 Released
Rake version 0.9.4 contains a number of bug fixes.
== Changes
=== 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
--supress-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 (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 (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)
== 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://github.com/jimweirich/rake
Download:: http://rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50
GitHub:: git://github.com/jimweirich/rake.git
