Inochi 1.0.0
Gives life to RubyGems-based software
http://snk.tuxfamily.org/lib/inochi
Inochi is an infrastructure for [1]RubyGems-based software
projects that encourages good documentation and reduces
programming effort by automating common tasks.
Version 1.0.0 (2009-05-03)
This release allows your gems to not depend on Inochi, lets
you choose which unit testing library to use, adds new
utility libraries and rake tasks, and fixes some bugs.
Incompatible changes
* Your program is no longer halted by Inochi.init() and
Inochi.rake() if gem dependencies are not satified. A
warning is issued instead.
* The project_summary and project_history nodes, which are
provided by Inochi.book() to the user manual, have been
renamed to project and "history" respectively.
* ERBook 7.0.0 is now used for generating the user manual.
This is a major step up from the previous version, and so
it has incompatible changes. See its release notes for
details.
* [2]SDoc is now used to generate API documentation instead
of [3]YARD. If you link to particular classes or methods
in the generated API documentation, be sure to update
your link addresses!
* Minitest is no longer the default testing library. You
must specify which testing library you want to use via
the :test_with option of the Inochi.rake() method. See
[4]Test execution for details.
* The "pak" rake task, which is provided by Inochi.rake(),
has been renamed to "gem".
New features
* Add :inochi_consumer and :inochi_producer options to
Inochi.rake() which allows you to avoid having Inochi as
a runtime and development dependency, respectively, for
your project's gem.
This is useful if you just want to use Inochi facilities
for building a gem for a pure Ruby library that does not
have any need for Inochi's runtime convenience
facilities.
* Add :develop option for Inochi.init() which lets you
specify RubyGems as development dependencies in the same
way as the :require option.
* Add "lint" rake task which reports [5]code quality
statistics.
* Add "test:cov" rake task which reports code coverage
statistics.
* Add "test:ruby" task which runs all tests with
[6]multiruby.
* Add `rake opts=' environment variable, which lets you
specify command-line arguments directly to the Ruby
interpreter, for all test* rake tasks.
* Add inochi/util/combo combinatorics library for
enumerations, permutations, and combinations which are
all useful in exhaustive brute-force unit testing.
* Add inochi/util/tempdir library which really should be in
the Ruby standard library.
Bug fixes
* The "enable email notification" checkbox was not
activated properly when posting announcement to ruby-talk
mailing list via Ruby-Forum.
* Mark gems needed by Inochi.rake() as development
dependencies.
A user would now have to install Inochi using
gem install --development
to install all these gems. This also solves the recursive
dependency problem between Inochi and ERBook.
* Set executable in gem specification only if it exists.
* Fix parsing of stack trace in Ruby 1.9.
Housekeeping
* Write contributor names in CREDITS file instead of in the
user manual.
* Use completely lowercase name for Rakefile.
* Add copyright statement at the top of every source file.
