orichalcum version 0.5.0 has been released!

Readline is a really useful library for textual user interfaces.  
Unfortunately, the Ruby interface has very limited functionality. This  
gem adds access to the full line buffer during completion. The  
biggest milestone before 1.0 is to similarly wrap jline for jRuby, and  
do it such that client code doesn’t need to determine it’s platform  
ahead of time.

Changes:

\*\* Marked release 0.5.0 \*\*

Added readline from command-set
