Subject: [ANN] SwitchTower 0.10.0

SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on  
multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include  
commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles  
for your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to  
certain roles. It was developed primarily to ease the pain of  
deploying Rails applications to multiple machines, but can be used  
for a great deal more than that.

SwitchTower 0.10.0 fixes several longstanding issues and adds some  
nice new functionality. I anticipate one (or at most two) more  
releases before 1.0.

   Project: http://rubyforge.org/projects/switchtower
   Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/17

Installation is simple:

   gem install --include-dependencies switchtower

You can get the whole scoop on what's new in the change log (http:// 
rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=3930) or in the  
announcement at either http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/articles/ 
2006/01/02/switchtower-0-10-0 or http://jamis.jamisbuck.org/articles/
