Some long overdue releases of cap\_gun and log\_buddy - both have been  
updated to version 0.0.5. Both are now available as gems on  
[Relevance · GitHub](http://github.com/relevance) as well as from rubyforge.

CapGun gives you super simple deployment notifications from  
Capistrano. LogBuddy gives you a log helper through all objects, and  
can also log the name of the thing passed in along with its value –  
saving you on typing and making debugging quicker.

CapGun got a fix so it does not attempt to display the rails\_env if  
its not defined - this should clean up any strangeness in  
notifications if you saw something like "my\_app was deployed to ".

LogBuddy got some minor tweaks and improved specs.

Both libraries now use Echoe, since Hoe complains about readme.txt  
when I want to use an rdoc, dammit. Both now only have a dev  
dependency on echoe to play nice with RubyGems 1.2.

You can install them via github or rubyforge:

sudo gem install log\_buddy  
sudo gem install cap\_gun

or

gem sources -a [http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com)  
sudo gem install relevance-log\_buddy  
sudo gem install relevance-cap\_gun
