Subject: [ANN] Mr Bones 1.3.3 (Fractal Bovine)

Mr Bones version 1.3.3
    by Tim Pease
    http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/bones
    (the "Fractal Bovine" release)

== DESCRIPTION

Mr Bones is a handy tool that builds a skeleton for your new Ruby projects.
The skeleton contains some starter code and a collection of rake tasks to
ease the management and deployment of your source code. Mr Bones is not
viral -- all the code your project needs is included in the skeleton (no
gem dependency required).

== CHANGES

* 4 minor enhancements
  - The annotation tags to search for can be specified by the user
    in the Rakefile
  - Directory names can be substituted during skeleton creation
  - Support for the GEM post_install_message
  - Support to generate an announcement text file and send the
    announcement via e-mail
  - Added a manifest:assert task that can be used when building the
    gem to assert that the manifest is up to date
       task 'gem:package' => 'manifest:assert'
* 1 bug fix
  - Fixed a circular dependency in the gem creation tasks

== INSTALL

* sudo gem install bones

== SYNOPSIS

To create a new "Get Fuzzy" project:

  bones get_fuzzy

If a new release of Mr Bones comes out with better features the "Get Fuzzy"
project will need to be updated:

  bones --update get_fuzzy

And if you ever get confused about what Mr Bones can do:

  bones --help

directory. Add your own tasks there when you need more functionality.

== REQUIREMENTS

Mr Bones does not have any "requirements", but if you do not have the
following gems installed you will not get all that Mr Bones has to offer.

* rubyforge - for easy gem publishing to rubyforge.org
* rcov - for code coverage testing
* rspec - if that's the way you roll

== FUN FACT

Half of all Americans are below average.
