Subject: [ANN] Mr Bones 2.3.0 (Calcaneus)

Mr Bones version 2.3.0
    by Tim Pease
    http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/bones
    (the "Calcaneus" 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

* 1 minor enhancement
  - removed the need for a Manifest.txt file

Instead, you can create a .bnsignore file (following the format of a
.gitignore file) that contains a list of files, directories, and patterns
that Mr Bones should ignore. These files will never be included in a gem
release of your project.

Alternatively, you can use an existing .gitignore file by specifying it in
your Rakefile:

  PROJ.ignore_file = '.gitignore'

== INSTALL

* sudo gem install bones

== SYNOPSIS

To create a new "Get Fuzzy" project:

  bones create get_fuzzy

If you ever get confused about what Mr Bones can do:

  bones --help

The rake tasks in the Mr Bones framework can be found in the "tasks"
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
* facets - for pretty colors

Actually, you will need at least version 1.2.0 of rubygems installed to use
Mr Bones.

== FUN FACT

Twenty-five percent of a human's bones are in its feet.
