NOTE:

[http://rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org) is now the default source for downloading gems.

You may have sources set via ~/.gemrc, so you should replace  
[http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org) with [http://rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org)

[http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org) will continue to work for the forseeable  
future.

New features:
