                Gives life to Ruby projects

```

Inochi is an infrastructure for Ruby projects that helps you  
test, document, package, publish, and announce your projects.  
It encourages great documentation and reduces project  
administrivia.

Version 4.0.0 (2010-07-25)

Incompatible changes:

```
 * Rename the "VERSIONS" section in the HISTORY file to
   "HISTORY".

```

Changes you will see in upgraded or newly generated projects:

```
 * Rename the "FURTHER" file to "BEYOND".

 * Rename test/test_helper.rb to just test/helper.rb.

 * Store resource URLs in variables in MANUAL for reuse.

 * Provide more precise link to ruby-wrapper tool in
   HACKING.

```

New features:

```
 * Ensure that project version matches release notes before
   building a gem. This helps to prevent the problem where
   you sometimes forget to update both the release notes and
   the project information file simultaneously.

 * Display announcement message to user (and make them
   confirm it) before publishing to ruby-talk. This helps to
   prevent you from appearing inept and having to apologize
   later for your publishing blunders.

 * Add -d (to enable $DEBUG) and -v (to enable $VERBOSE)
   command-line options to the generated test/runner script.

```

Bug fixes:

```
 * Various compatibility fixes for Ruby 1.9.2-rc2.

 * Prefix test/runner command with "ruby" for Windows users.

 * Ember::WEBSITE was always being emitted in README.

```

Housekeeping:

```
 * Add version constraints for YARD and Mechanize
   dependencies.

 * Upgrade from Dfect 1.1.0 to Detest 3.1.0 for unit
   testing.

 * Upgrade to Ronn 0.7.0 for generating this user manual.
