= Rake 0.8.7 Released
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rake version 0.8.5 introduced greatly improved support for executing
|
||
|
|
commands on Windows. The "sh" command now has the same semantics on
|
||
|
|
Windows that it has on Unix based platforms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rake version 0.8.6 includes minor fixes the the RDoc generation.
|
||
|
|
Rake version 0.8.7 includes a minor fix for JRuby running on windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
== 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:
