Subject: [ANN] hitimes 1.0.0 Released

hitimes version 1.0.0 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 of the following systems:

* any system with the POSIX call clock_gettime()
* Mac OS X
* 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 1.0.0 }}

* Major version bump with complete refactor of the metric collection API
* 3 types of metrics now instead of just 1 Timer
  * ValueMetric
  * TimedMetric
  * TimedValueMetric
* The ability to convert all metrics #to_hash
* Updated documentation with examples using each metric type
