Hello Again,
I seem to be on fire with Ruby. What a wonderful language. I feel like
I'm Bruce Banner and someone just kicked me in the crotch.
Anyway, another release of FastCST for all you Ruby folk to play with.
This release adds support for three really fun commands:
* send -- Takes a meta-data file, packs all the stuff in an e-mail, and
sends it (a lot like darcs).
* recv -- Hits a POP3 server, finds all the FastCST Changesets you sent,
and downloads them into a local mbox file.
* read -- Reads an mbox file for FastCST Changesets and lets you apply
them to directories. Even works against an Evolution mailbox so you can
just let Evolution (or other MTA) download them and then process them
directly.
This is actually a pretty nice way to work since it's a lot like reading
e-mail--although maybe circa 1980 with the mail command. No, even
worse.
In addition there's a full walk-through/tutorial available for those
wanting more in-depth coverage:

Enjoy! And all feedback is welome.
