I’m thrilled to announce the release of Duration 0.1.0. Duration is a timespan manipulation library that tells you how much time has passed since a certain time, or how long a certain amount of seconds is in more human-readable measurements. As of 0.1.0, the Duration library has been completely rewritten, BigDuration (and all its features) have been completely stripped, and I’ve got a few other nifty things added. Duration is currently _in-no-way_ stable. At this moment you can only expect that it “works” how it should. Please expect a stable release at 1.0.0, many more releases should come between. Gem: $ gem install duration -r Without gem: $ svn checkout [http://duration.rubyforge.org/svn/tags/duration-0.1.0](http://duration.rubyforge.org/svn/tags/duration-0.1.0) After checking out, simply run: $ cd duration-0.1.0/ $ sudo ruby setup.rb You can checkout latest version likeso: $ svn checkout [http://duration.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk](http://duration.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk) ---
