Subject: [ANN] hitimes 0.4.0 Released

hitimes version 0.4.0 has been released.

  gem install hitimes

http://copiousfreetime.rubyforge.org/hitimes/

Hitimes is a fast, high resolution timer library for recording
performance metrics.  It uses the appropriate C method calls for each
system to get the highest granularity time increments possible.  

It currently supports any system with the POSIX call clock_gettime(),
Mac OS X and Windows.

Using Hitimes can be faster than using a series of Time.new calls, and
it will have a much higher granularity.   It is definitely faster than
using Process.times.

{{ Release notes for Version 0.4.0 }}

* Added new stat 'rate'
* Added new stat method to_hash
* Added MutexedStats class for threadsafe stats collection 
  - not needed when used in MRI 1.8.x
* remove stale dependency on mkrf

enjoy,

-jeremy
