Subject: [ANN] hoe 2.14.0 Released

hoe version 2.14.0 has been released!

* <https://github.com/seattlerb/hoe>

Hoe is a rake/rubygems helper for project Rakefiles. It helps you
manage and maintain, and release your project and includes a dynamic
plug-in system allowing for easy extensibility. Hoe ships with
plug-ins for all your usual project tasks including rdoc generation,
testing, packaging, and deployment.

See class rdoc for help. Hint: `ri Hoe` or any of the plugins listed
below.

Changes:

### 2.14.0 / 2012-02-20

* 9 minor enhancements:

  * .rdoc files are now automatically added to the extra_rdoc_files list.
  * Added Hoe#read_manifest
  * Added check_manifest to the prerelease task to prevent broken releases.
  * Added extra duplicate dependency checking.
  * Hoe#with_config merges the local and home configuration atop Hoe::DEFAULT_CONFIG to allow plugins to supply new defaults.
  * The readme_file and history_file are now automatically guessed from the manifest.  This allows "README.rdoc" to be used automatically.
  * install_gem optionally excludes rdoc/ri generation.
  * rake check_extra_deps excludes rdoc/ri generation. rake install_gem does not.
  * rake multi now just reinvokes rake using multiruby to allow hoe plugins to be invoked.

* 3 bug fixes:

  * Added workaround for check_extra_deps for multi-version dependencies.
  * The publish plugin no longer raises an exception for missing or ancient versions of rdoc.
  * rdoc plugin calls isolate if using isolate
