HighLine 0.2.0 Released
=======================

Just thought I would let everyone know that I did package up and
release an updated version of my HighLine quiz (#29) solution. I find
it handy, so I hope others will too.

If anyone uses this, feedback is welcome ([email protected]).
I do have a TODO list of features I would like to add, but I'm also
open to suggestions of how to grow the project and make in useful to
all.

What is HighLine?
-----------------

(from the README)

HighLine was designed to ease the tedious tasks of doing console input
and output with low-level methods like gets() and puts(). HighLine
provides a robust system for requesting data from a user, without
needing to code all the error checking and validation rules and without
needing to convert the typed Strings into what your program really
needs. Just tell HighLine what you're after, and let it do all the
work.

What's new in this release?
---------------------------

(highlights from the CHANGELOG)

* Added range checks for "above" and "below".
* Added support for validate = lambda { ... }.
* Added default answer support.
* Added complete documentation.

Plus bug fixes and code clean-up all around.

Where can I learn more?
-----------------------

HighLine is now hosted on RubyForge.

Project page: http://rubyforge.org/projects/highline/
Documentation: http://highline.rubyforge.org/
Downloads: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=683

How do I get HighLine?
----------------------

HighLine is a gem, so as long as you have RubyGems installed it's as
simple as:

$ sudo gem install highline

If you need to install RubyGems, you can download it from:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126&release_id=1885

Yeah, that's what I was thinking this morning...Next time I jump into
Cmd I'm
going to incorporate HighLine.

There does seem to be a lot of potential for some kind of combination
here. I would love to see something come of this. Do contact me
Marcel, if I can be of any help...
