= Rake 0.9.3 Released
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rake version 0.9.3 contains some new, backwards compatible features and
|
||
|
|
a number of bug fixes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== New Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Multitask tasks now use a thread pool. Use -j to limit the number of
|
||
|
|
available threads.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use -m to turn regular tasks into multitasks (use at your own risk).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can now do "Rake.add_rakelib 'dir'" in your Rakefile to
|
||
|
|
programatically add rake task libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can specific backtrace suppression patterns (see
|
||
|
|
--supress-backtrace)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Directory tasks can now take prerequisites and actions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use --backtrace to request a full backtrace without the task trace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can say "--backtrace=stdout" and "--trace=stdout" to route trace
|
||
|
|
output to standard output rather than standard error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Optional 'phony' target (enable with 'require 'rake/phony'") for
|
||
|
|
special purpose builds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Task#clear now clears task comments as well as actions and
|
||
|
|
prerequisites. Task#clear_comment will specifically target comments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The --all option will force -T and -D to consider all the tasks,
|
||
|
|
with and without descriptions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Bug Fixes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Semi-colons in windows rakefile paths now work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Improved Control-C support when invoking multiple test suites.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* egrep method now reads files in text mode (better support for
|
||
|
|
Windows)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Better deprecation line number reporting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The -W option now works with all tasks, whether they have a
|
||
|
|
description or not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* File globs in rake should not be sorted alphabetically, independent
|
||
|
|
of file system and platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Numerous internal improvements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Documentation typos and fixes.

== What is Rake
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rake is a build tool similar to the make program in many ways. But
|
||
|
|
instead of cryptic make recipes, Rake uses standard Ruby code to
|
||
|
|
declare tasks and dependencies. You have the full power of a modern
|
||
|
|
scripting language built right into your build tool.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Availability
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The easiest way to get and install rake is via RubyGems ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gem install rake (you may need root/admin privileges)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, you can get it from the more traditional places:
