[Eric_Hodel1 (Eric Hodel)]

rdoc version 2.4.2 has been released!

* RDoc Project Page - http://rubyforge.org/projects/rdoc/
* RDoc Documentation - http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/
* RDoc Bug Tracker - http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=2472&group_id=627&func=browse

RDoc is an application that produces documentation for one or more Ruby source
files. RDoc includes the +rdoc+ and +ri+ tools for generating and displaying
online documentation.

At this point in time, RDoc 2.x is a work in progress and may incur further
API changes beyond what has been made to RDoc 1.0.1. Command-line tools are
largely unaffected, but internal APIs may shift rapidly.

See RDoc for a description of RDoc's markup and basic use.

Changes:

### 2.4.2 / 2009-03-25

* 2 Minor Enhancements
   * Added --pipe for turning RDoc on stdin into HTML
   * Added rdoc/task.rb containing a replacement for rake/rdoctask.rb. Use
     RDoc::Task now instead of Rake::RDocTask.

* 10 Bug Fixes
   * Writing the ri cache file to the proper directory. Bug #24459 by Lars
     Christensen.
   * Possible fix for Dir::[] and Pathname interaction on 1.9. Bug #24650 by
     tiburon.
   * Fixed scanning constants for if/end, etc. pairs. Bug #24609 by Ryan
     Davis.
   * Fixed private methods in the C parser. Bug #24599 by Aaron Patterson.
   * Fixed display of markup on RDoc main page. Bug #24168 by rhubarb.
   * Fixed display of \\ character in documentation proceeding words.
     Bug #22112 by James Gray. See RDoc for details.
   * Fixed parsing and display of arg params for some corner cases. Bug #21113
     by Csiszár Attila.
   * Fixed links in Files box. Patch #24403 by Eric Wong.
   * Toplevel methods now appear in Object. Bug #22677 by Ryan Davis.
   * Added back --promiscuous which didn't do anything you cared about. Why
     did you enable it? Nobody looked at that page! Oh, it warns, too.

Better and better. But OMM (still using ruby 1.8.6) I still often
encounter basic methods that show up in "ri" with no description:

$ ri String.tr
     [no description]
$ ri String.squeeze!
     [no description]

And so on. Not sure why... m.

FYI, there're a couple of fixes, specific and non-specific to
1.9, other than removing trailing spaces.

Hrm. Either ruby svn and rdoc svn have diverged, or something else is weird with this patch. For example, 'm' is not a local variable in this method, and there has been very little activity on the rdoc svn side. I'll poke around, but I think I'm going to have to leave this to eric to merge. thanks for the heads up.
