CoolOptions version 1.0.4 has been released!

[http://cooloptions.rubyforge.org/](http://cooloptions.rubyforge.org/)

As a huge fan of optparse due to its flexibility, self-documenting  
nature, and ease of use, I nevertheless found myself doing almost the  
exact same thing with it over and over again, and decided to write a  
thin wrapper around it to handle the common cases. Thus CoolOptions  
was born. CoolOptions is a simple wrapper around optparse that  
provides less configuration and more convenience for doing  
command-line option handling.

Changes:

== 1.0.4 / 2006-12-09

- Added a Rake dependency.

- Added Hoe back to the dependencies.
