Subject: [ANN] Rote 0.3.2 released

Rote 0.3.2 is now available for download from http://rote.rubyforge.org  
(Direct link: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/7975/rote-0.3.2.gem).

Rote is a lightweight, powerful documentation and templating system that  
provides an easy-to-use Rake-based build for your software documentation  
and other static text for the web. Rote's approach is to provide the  
expert Rubyist with an intuitive solution based on familiar technologies  
like Erb, Red/BlueCloth and Syntax. Rote is simple enough to be used with  
zero configuration, yet flexible enough to satisfy fairly complex  
requirements thanks to it's open-ended design, reliance on Ruby code for  
configuration, and tight integration with Rake.

This release introduces several new features and enhancements, and some  
small fixes:

	* BlueCloth now used for Markdown
	* Dynamic dependency cache
	* File-dependency based block memoize
	* Implemented nested layout
	* Implemented ruby eval macro
	* Implemented external command macro
	* (re)fixed COMMON.rb bug (bug 3040)
	* Fixed a lot of documentation errors

This release is backward compatible with Rote 0.3.0(.2) and takes Rote  
closer to it's final form for 1.0 - apart from improved compatibility with  
the ActionView helpers (for those that want it) and pseudo-section  
support, we feel that this is pretty much how Rote 1.0 will look. It is a  
recommended upgrade for all users.

In addition to the download links above, you can of course install Rote  
via RubyGems:

	gem install rote

If you do not have RubyGems, you can download one of:

	http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/7975/rote-0.3.2.tar.gz
	http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/7975/rote-0.3.2.zip

I'm once again indebted to the fledgling community that's developing  
around Rote, both for some remarkable contributions, but also for  
responding to my request for feedback a short while ago with good bug  
reports and suggestions. As we head for 1.0 I hope that even more feedback  
(good and bad) will come from you guys, so we can make Rote the tool that  
Rubyists truly want.

Cheers,
Ross
