* Bugfix: duration SQL type adjusted in the model to return proper values.

* Locked the Ramaze version to 0.3.5 until we find out why the new version breaks us
## 0.6.3 / 2008-03-26
* Bugfix: specifying a .spec filename on the commandline did not work - Path expanded before changing directory.

* Cleaned up the Runner's log output
## 0.6.2 / 2008-03-12
* Parsers derived from Rutema::SpecificationParser now receive the system configuration so that conventions like tools, paths and context can be used in element_ methods (this functionality fell through the cracks with the change in parser implementation)

## 0.6.1 / 2008-02-28
* ExtensibleXMLParser made more tolerant (no exceptions when an element cannot be handled)

## 0.6.0 / 2008-02-27
* Added Rutema::ExtensibleXMLParser - this parser simplifies parser creation immensely. Check the documentation for details
* "Howto create a parser v0.5.0" officially the fastest deprecation of a document ever. http://patir.rubyforge.org/rutema/parser.html is the new black.
* Corrected some english spelling mistakes (hey, we're not native speakers)
* Fixed an issue with AR cached connections that interfered with unit tests
