Subject: [ruby-talk:24248] [ANN] Path v0.3.0

Hello,

I've just released the version 0.3.0 of the Path class.

Home page: http://www.lepton.fr/ruby/path
Download: http://www.lepton.fr/ruby/path/path-0.3.0.tar.gz
RAA entry: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=Path

This class regroups all builtin Ruby methods related to path names,
like File::exist?, File::open, Dir::entries, File::Stat#readable?, etc.

ChangeLog since 0.2.0:
- Minor bugfixes and improvements
- Updated join: ensure no path separator is duplicated (see test unit or
doc)
- Documentation!
- Changed mkdir, rmdir and delete to take optional arguments: the
entry/ies to affect
  in the directory. ie: Path['foo'].mkdir('bar') will create the
directory 'foo/bar'.
- Some tests added
- README
- Added line number in evals
- new #rmtree method
- changed #foreach to yield entries containing the calling path

TODO (probably in next release):
- Path#relative to retreive the relative path between 2 paths
  ruby-talk:20581, ruby-talk:20666
- A #delete! method, similar to #rmtree except it does nothing if
  the path doesn't exist
- Change #copy, #link, #rename, ... to accept an entry name like #mkdir


Any feedback is welcome.

Mike.
