Subject: [ANN] Snippits 0.5.2 Released

Snippits version 0.5.2 has been released!

* http://ben.kudria.net/code/snippits

This is a Ruby text expansion program for Linux - it will type text for
you.
It uses 'snippits', small text files with a simple syntax to determine
what
to type.  However, snippits can be very powerful, since they can contain
embedded Ruby, special keys (Control, Shift, Up, etc), and can contain a
cursor placement instructions.

## REQUIREMENTS:

* eRB
        'sudo apt-get install ruby1.8' on Debian/Ubuntu-like
* xte from the xautomation suite
        'sudo apt-get install xautomation' on Debian/Ubuntu-like
* ASpell and RASpell is not required, but adds extra features:
        'sudo apt-get install aspell-en' and
        'sudo gem install raspell'

Please consult your distribution documentation on how to install Ruby,
Rubygems, eRB, and ASpell.

To install all required software on a Debian or Ubuntu install, execute:
 * sudo apt-get install ruby ruby1.8-dev rdoc rubygems libruby-extras
 * sudo gem install raspell

Changes:

## 0.5.2 / 2008-02-17

* Bugfixes
  * Updated README on how to use GPG-encrypted files.  Please try it and
report any problems
  * Enabled ERb newline supression
  * Builtin snippit 'list' now lists builtin snippits too.
  * Refactored and cleaned up some code in the Snippits library
  * Added a check for xte version, if version is less than 0.98, print
warning
        that non-US key layouts/characters may be wonky.
  * WARNING: Upgrade xte as suggested above!  The next version of
snippits
    will *require* the minimum version of xte.  This is to cut down on
the
    number of "why won't my on-US keyboard work with snippits"-emails I
get.
* Changes and Features
  * Changed builtin list snippit to print a space-separated list instead
of
    a tree.  Useful for tab completion.
  * Removed builtin snippit files
  * Updated README with section on how to submit patches, and fixed some
typos
  * Updated the code with embedded documentation (RDoc)
  * Added builtin snippit 'path' to return path of a given snippit file,
if it
    exists
  * Added builtin snippit 'contents' to return the contents of a snippit
file,
    without ERB interprentation, if it exists
  * Created a video demo of snippits in action.
    See it at: http://ben.kudria.net/code/snippits
  * Added a helpful "Getting Started" section to the README
  * Added CREDITS and ROADMAP files.  Feedback on Roadmap especially
appreciated.
