= Rake 0.8.6 Released | ||
|
||
Rake version 0.8.5 introduced greatly improved support for executing | ||
commands on Windows. The "sh" command now has the same semantics on | ||
Windows that it has on Unix based platforms. | ||
|
||
Rake version 0.8.6 includes minor fixes the the RDoc generation. | ||
|
||
== Changes | ||
|
||
=== New Features / Enhancements in Version 0.8.5 | ||
|
||
* Improved implementation of the Rake system command for Windows. | ||
(patch from James M. Lawrence/quix) | ||
|
||
* Support for Ruby 1.9's improved system command. (patch from James | ||
M. Lawrence/quix) | ||
|
||
* Rake now includes the configured extension when invoking an | ||
executable (Config::CONFIG['EXEEXT]) | ||
|
||
=== Bug Fixes in Version 0.8.5 | ||
|
||
* Environment variable keys are now correctly cased (it matters in | ||
some implementations). | ||
|
||
== 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 | ||
GitHub:: git://github.com/jimweirich/rake.git | ||
|
||
== Thanks | ||

following people either contributed patches, made suggestions or made | ||
