Subject: [ANN] Nitro Web Engine 0.2.0

Hello everyone,

a new version of Nitro is available. Here is the release info:

== Version 0.2.0 was released on 25/10/2004.

Greatly improved RDoc documentation. Cleaned up many source files, and
improved the directory structure to be more compatible with other Ruby
projects. Introduced a test suite. Important bug fixes in NDB. Tiny
example no longer requires apache so should run out of the box.
