Version 1.0.0

Contents

• Caution  
• Repairs

This release makes Gerbil available as a RubyGem, fixes  
some bugs, and updates the user guide.

1 Caution

• The gerbil file has been moved to bin/gerbil.

• The format/ directory has been renamed to fmt.

• The format/html.rb file has been moved to lib/gerbil/  
html.rb.

• The format/rdoc.rb file has been moved to lib/gerbil/  
rdoc.rb.

• In format/rdoc.rb, the name of the RDoc.gen\_parse\_tree  
method has been pluralized (tree → trees) because it  
really returns an array of trees rather than a single  
tree.

• The CHANGES.yaml file has been removed, in favor of  
this RSS feed: [http://gerbil.rubyforge.org/news.xml](http://gerbil.rubyforge.org/news.xml)

• The GENERATOR object has been renamed to Gerbil.

2 Repairs

• User guide now says “gem install RedCloth” instead of  
“gem install redcloth”. I don’t see why RubyGems  
requires the correct capitalization, so I filed a bug  
report about it.

• In the HTML format, images inside descendant nodes of a  
figure node were not properly centered.

• In the HTML format, the $title parameter was not  
converted into HTML.
