Subject: [ANN] mogilefs-client 3.1.0 released

A MogileFS client library for Ruby.  MogileFS is an open source
distributed filesystem, see: http://mogilefs.org for more details.  This
library allows any Ruby application to read, write and delete files in a
MogileFS instance.

To install:   gem install mogilefs-client

Changes:

  * improved API support for uploading large files
    While we've always supported uploading large files, the
    (still-supported) existing APIs were somewhat awkward or
    required the file to exist on the file system.  See
    MogileFS::NewFile for details and examples.

  * more informative exception messages for timed-out requests

  * :fail_timeout parameter, the timeout for retrying a failed
    tracker connection.  This defaults to 5 seconds (same as
    previous versions where this was hard-coded.

  * :new_file_max_time parameter
    Controls the maximum of time spent creating and uploading
    a new file in MogileFS.   This defaults to 1 hour (which
    matching the expiry time of a row in the MogileFS internal
    tempfile table).

  * store_file works on unlinked File/Tempfile objects

  * each_fid method in MogileFS::Admin fixed

  * stale_fid_checker example script added

  * mogstored_rack example split into a standalone RubyGem:
    http://bogomips.org/mogstored_rack/

  * backend error constants are generated on const_missing,
    instead of when raised, making it easier to rescue exceptions
    we didn't explicitly enable

  * some internal cleanups and documentation improvements
