Changes:

2.14.0 / 2012-02-20

  • 9 minor enhancements:

    • .rdoc files are now automatically added to the extra_rdoc_files
      list.
    • Added Hoe#read_manifest
    • Added check_manifest to the prerelease task to prevent broken
      releases.
    • Added extra duplicate dependency checking.
    • Hoe#with_config merges the local and home configuration atop
      Hoe::DEFAULT_CONFIG to allow plugins to supply new defaults.
    • The readme_file and history_file are now automatically guessed from
      the manifest. This allows “README.rdoc” to be used automatically.
    • install_gem optionally excludes rdoc/ri generation.
    • rake check_extra_deps excludes rdoc/ri generation. rake install_gem
      does not.
    • rake multi now just reinvokes rake using multiruby to allow hoe
      plugins to be invoked.

  • 3 bug fixes:

    • Added workaround for check_extra_deps for multi-version
      dependencies.
    • The publish plugin no longer raises an exception for missing or
      ancient versions of rdoc.
    • rdoc plugin calls isolate if using isolate
