Inochi 1.1.0

Gives life to RubyGems-based software

http://snk.tuxfamily.org/lib/inochi/

Inochi is an infrastructure for [1]RubyGems-based software
that encourages good documentation, reduces programming
effort, and automates common tasks.

Version 1.1.0 (2009-09-06)

This release improves the user manual and scaffold generator
output, injects more metadata into gems, adds support for
Microsoft web browsers, and fixes some bugs.

* [2]New features

* [3]Bug fixes

* [4]Housekeeping

New features

* Add [5]instructions for building gems without Inochi as a
runtime dependency.

* Put release notes in "description" field of gemspec, as
[6]suggested by Eric Hodel, so that subscribers of [7]the
RubyForge gems feed are aware of the changes in a
published gem.

* Set the "date" field in gemspec to project release date.

* Change file extension of generated user manuals from
.xhtml to .html to accomodate Microsoft web browsers'
inability to process the application/xhtml+xml mime type.

Bug fixes

* The sdoc library was necessary to run `rake test'.

* Forgot to add :develop option to scaffold generator
output.

* Make "rake lang:dump" unconditionally overwrite the dump
file.

* Fix gem not being built and prevent Maruku errors for the
dummy "WordCount" project in the user manual.

* Use /usr/bin/env instead of /usr/bin/ruby to launch Ruby
for better portability.

Housekeeping

* Use simpler Copyright reminder at the top of every file.

* Open source is for fun, so [8]be nice: speak of "related
works" instead of "competitors".

* Rename "Tutorial" to "General walkthrough" in user manual
and add a "Specific topics" section for housing uncommon
use cases.

* Remove "logistics" section and redistribute its contents
in more suitable locations in the user manual.
