Put class methods inside class << self block. (Norman Clarke)

* Small change to allow friendly_id to work better with STI. (David Ramalho)
July 14 2008
* Improved slug generation for friendly id's with apostrophes. (alistairholt)
* Added support for namespaced models in Rakefile. (David Ramalho)
June 23 2008
* Cached most recent slug to improve performance (Emilio Tagua).
June 10 2008
* Added ability to find friendly_ids by array:
Post.find(["first-post", "second-post"])
Many thanks to Emilio Tagua (miloops) for implementing this feature.

* Made friendly_id raise an error with an informative message if the method
used to get the text for the slug returns a blank value. Previously
friendy_id would end up raising a TypeError with a less understandable error
message in these cases.

* Added gemspec. Installing friendly_id as a gem doesn't really get you
anything at this point, since it won't work. But I'm adding this since
Github offers gems for free. I'll make friendly_id work when installed as a
gem soon.

* Improved code that adds an extension to the friendly_id when attempting to
avoid name collisions. Previously identically named items in some cases
would cause friendly_id to die a painful death, raigin an "I give up damnit!"
error. Seriously. Sorry about that people... it should a little more
"friendly" now.
March 13, 2008
* Added :dependent => :destroy to slug relation, as suggested by Emilio Tagua.
* Added code to avoid an error when renaming a slugged item back to a previously
used name. In some cases this could cause your model to fail validation with
an "invalid slug" error.
* Incorporated documentation changes suggested by Jesse Crouch and Chris Nolan.
Feb 7, 2008
* Applied patches from blog commenter "suntzu" to fix problem with model
values were being overwritten. See:
http://randomba.org/articles/2008/01/18/friendly_id
* Applied patch from Dan Blue to make friendly_id no longer ignore options on
ActiveRecordBase#find. Before, this code did not work:
Person.find(id, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
* This was because the conditions were silently dropped. Dan's patch fixes
this for friendly_id when you're using it in "non-slugging" mode. I still
have not fixed this for find when using slugs because this is a bit more
complicated and I haven't had time yet. For now a commented-out failing test
has been added as a reminder for me to FIX THIS SOON.
* Added call to options.assert_valid_keys in has_friendly_id. Thanks to
W. Andrew Loe III for pointing out that this was missing.
