Subject: [ANN] HighLine 0.2.0

HighLine 0.2.0 Released
=======================

Just thought I would let everyone know that I did package up and 
release an updated version of my HighLine quiz (#29) solution.  I find 
it handy, so I hope others will too.

If anyone uses this, feedback is welcome (james@grayproductions.net).  
I do have a TODO list of features I would like to add, but I'm also 
open to suggestions of how to grow the project and make in useful to 
all.

What is HighLine?
-----------------

(from the README)

HighLine was designed to ease the tedious tasks of doing console input 
and output with low-level methods like gets() and puts().  HighLine 
provides a robust system for requesting data from a user, without 
needing to code all the error checking and validation rules and without 
needing to convert the typed Strings into what your program really 
needs.  Just tell HighLine what you're after, and let it do all the 
work.

What's new in this release?
---------------------------

(highlights from the CHANGELOG)

* Added range checks for "above" and "below".
* Added support for validate = lambda { ... }.
* Added default answer support.
* Added complete documentation.

Plus bug fixes and code clean-up all around.

Where can I learn more?
