namecase version 1.1.0 has been released!

- [http://namecase.rubyforge.org/](http://namecase.rubyforge.org/)

NameCase is a Ruby implementation of Lingua::EN::NameCase, a library for  
converting strings to be properly cased. This is good for converting  
denormalized data to human friendly data.

- Example Usage

- Acknowledgements

This library is a port of the Perl library, and owes most of its  
functionality  
to the Perl version by Mark Summerfield. Any bugs in the Ruby port are  
my  
fault.

Be aware that this is something you’ll need to internationalize -  
rules for casing are language-and-culture specific. Seamus Ó hAirt,  
for example, not Seamus Ó Hairt.
