+= Rake 0.7.3 Released
+
+Rake version 0.7.3 is a minor release that includes some refactoring to better
+support custom Rake applications.
+
+== Changes
+
+=== New Features in Version 0.7.3
+
+* Added the +init+ and +top_level+ methods to make the creation of custom Rake applications a bit easier.  E.g.
+
+    gem 'rake', ">= 0.7.3"
+    require 'rake'
+
+    Rake.application.init('myrake')
+
+    task :default do
+      something_interesting
+    end
+
+    Rake.application.top_level
+
+== 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
+
+== 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 ...
