Subject: [ANN] Mr Bones 2.0.0 (Pygmy Orchestra)

Mr Bones version 2.0.0
    by Tim Pease
    http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/bones
    (the "Pygmy Orchestra" 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

* 2 major enhancements
  - Reworked the PROJ open struct to use nested open struct
    objects
  - Renamed a few of the .rake files to match the namespaces
    they define
* 4 minor enhancements
  - Selectable project skeleton when creating a new project
  - Added an empty 'prereqs' task to several of the namespaces
      (can be used for running code before any of the
       tasks in that namespace are invoked)
  - Extra refinement on notes
      rake notes TwP       #=> all notes for TwP
      rake notes:todo TwP  #=> all todos for TwP
  - Insalling a gem will no longer try to update the gem
    sources from RubyForge
* 1 bug fix
  - On some systems, the quiet method was not reopening
    stdout and stderr correctly

== VERSION 2.0.0 CHANGES

Version 2.0.0 of Mr Bones introduces backwards incompatibilities. Here is
what you need to update in order for your current projects to work with
this latest release.

Perform an update the tasks in your project directory:

  bones -u your/project/directory

The following .rake files have been renamed in Mr Bones 2.0.0 (the old
name is on the left and the new name is on the right). You will need to
delete the old version and use only the new version.

  doc.rake          => rdoc.rake
  annotations.rake  => notes.rake

The PROJ openstruct has been amended to contain a collection of nested
openstructs. This will affect any settings you might have in the
top-level Rakefile for your project. Here is the translation key (old
names on the left and new names on the right).

  need_zip              => gem.need_zip
  post_install_message  => gem.extras['post_install_message']

  annotation_exclude    => notes.exclude
  annotation_extensions => notes.extensions
  annotation_tags       => notes.tags      

  svn                   => svn.path
  svn_root              => svn.root
  svn_trunk             => svn.trunk
  svn_tags              => svn.tags
  svn_branches          => svn.branches

  ann_file              => ann.file
  ann_text              => ann.text
  ann_paragraphs        => ann.paragraphs
  ann_email             => ann.email     

And of course, each name should be prepended with PROJ in your Rakefile.

== 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

== FUN FACT

The number of left-handed men is double that of left-handed women.

== POST SCRIPT

Blessings,
TwP
