Subject: [ANN] doodle 0.2.0 Released

doodle version 0.2.0 has been released!

* <http://doodle.rubyforge.org>

Doodle is a gem for simplifying the definition of Ruby classes by
making attributes and their properties more declarative. Doodle is
eco-friendly: it does not globally modify Object, Class or Module.

Changes:

## 0.2.0 / 2009-02-08

The website has been given a complete overhaul in preparation for more
extensive documentation.

- Features:
  - object.doodle.values for easy access to array of attribute values
  - object.default?(:name) returns true if :name has default and not
been assigned
  - equality
    - doodles are equal if both have the same class and values
  - comparability
    - defines <=> (so doodles are sortable by default)
  - XML serialization - require 'doodle/xml'
    simple XML serialization using Doodle class names as tag
    names. Works for me. YMMV :)
    - to_xml
    - from_xml
  - reworked website using webby

- Bug fixes:
  - all specs now pass in ruby 1.8.6, 1.9.1 and JRuby 1.1.6 (3 pending)
  - renabled String collectors
