= Rake 0.7.2 Released | ||
|
||
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. | ||
|
||
== 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 | ||
|
||
