TODO

• Change Thor.start to parse ARGV in a single pass
• Improve spec coverage for Thor::Runner
• Improve help output to list shorthand switches, too
• Investigate and fix deep namespacing ("foo:bar:baz") issues

0.9.8, released 2008-10-20

• Fixed some tiny issues that were introduced lately.

0.9.7, released 2008-10-13

• Setting global method options on the initialize method works as expected: All other tasks will accept these global options in addition to their own.
• Added ‘group’ notion to Thor task sets (class Thor); by default all tasks are in the ‘standard’ group. Running ‘thor -T’ will only show the standard tasks - adding —all will show all tasks. You can also filter on a specific group using the —group option: thor -T —group advanced

0.9.6, released 2008-09-13

• Generic improvements

0.9.5, released 2008-08-27

• Improve Windows compatibility
• Update (incorrect) README and task.thor sample file
• Options hash is now frozen (once returned)
• Allow magic predicates on options object. For instance: `options.force?`
• Add support for :numeric type
• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Refactor Thor::Options. You cannot access shorthand forms in options hash anymore (for instance, options[:f])
• Allow specifying optional args with default values: method_options(:user => "mislav")
• Don’t write options for nil or false values. This allows, for example, turning color off when running specs.
• Exit with the status of the spec command to help CI stuff out some.

0.9.4, released 2008-08-13

• Try to add Windows compatibility.
• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: options hash is now accessed as a property in your class and is not passed as last argument anymore
• Allow options at the beginning of the argument list as well as the end.
• Make options available with symbol keys in addition to string keys.
• Allow true to be passed to Thor#method_options to denote a boolean option.
• If loading a thor file fails, don’t give up, just print a warning and keep going.
• Make sure that we re-raise errors if they happened further down the pipe than we care about.
• Only delete the old file on updating when the installation of the new one is a success
• Make it Ruby 1.8.5 compatible.
• Don’t raise an error if a boolean switch is defined multiple times.
• Thor::Options now doesn’t parse through things that look like options but aren’t.
• Add URI detection to install task, and make sure we don’t append ".thor" to URIs
• Add rake2thor to the gem binfiles.
• Make sure local Thorfiles override system-wide ones.
