jake version 1.0.0 has been released!

- [http://github.com/jcoglan/jake](http://github.com/jcoglan/jake)

Jake is a command line tool for building JavaScript packages from source  
code. Using simple YAML config files, you can specify any number of  
build  
files to be generated by concatenating and minifying groups of source  
files.  
It allows ERB to be used inside source files to generate code, and  
provides  
event hooks into the build process so you can extend it for your own  
needs.

Changes:

### 1.0.0 / 2009-07-06

- A proper test suite is now in place.

- Helper methods and event hooks and are now separated. Use  
`jake_helper`  
and `jake_hook` instead of just `jake`.

- :after\_build event is now called :build\_complete, and we added  
a :file\_created event that is called whenever a new package file is  
written to disk.

- Metadata can be added to packages using the :meta option. This  
data is available as Package#meta inside event hooks.

- Erubis is now used instead of ERB if available.
