Subject: [SoC][ANN] Ruby Reports 0.4.13 Released

== Ruport 0.4.13 ==
The "Lucky Numbers" Edition

== About ==

Ruby Reports is a software library that aims to make the task of
reporting less tedious and painful. It provides tools for data
acquisition, database interaction, formatting, and munging.

== New in this release ==

This release features a revamp of the Report class into a mini DSL. This rolls
database interaction, formatting tools, text filters, email and file support all
into one interface. Additionally a number of bugs were squashed
alongside some substantial code cleanup.

See an example at:

== Project News ==

 * Why Lucky Numbers?

This is the lucky numbers release!

I'm not sure exactly what that means but here are some numbers:

- 5th release since the start of Google's Summer of Code
- exactly 300 assertions in the unit tests (spooky!)
- 13 for the minor revision number!

* SVN now being mirrored

But on to the real news.  We've now migrated to Trac on a third party
ISP, so there are two things to note about our SVN on rubyforge.

1) It's a half hour behind.

and

2) All the commits will show up as dudleyf, but you will see the
actual author in the log messages.

 * Open Discussion Tonight

If anyone missed the announcement, we're holding an open discussion
tonight from 23:30 -> 00:30 UTC in the #ruport channel on Freenode.

Fun will be had by all (i hope)
