                       Reap, v4.5.0

     The Bountiful Ruby Project Management Assistant

                     REAP THE REWARDS!

```

ABSTRACT  
-------------\>

Reap comprises a set of tasks commonly need ber Ruby package  
developers/deployers, such as testing, packaging, releasing, etc. You  
can also use Reap to create your own custom tasks. Reap utilizes a  
YAML configuration file to harvest project information, significantly  
simplifying these chores.

RELEASE MEMO  
-----------------\>

Sailed right through the 4.4.x series. Now were onto the next with a  
whole new level of irony 😉 This release features both Rake  
interoperability and CUSTOM TASKS! Ain’t it a woot! Just when it  
becomes possible to actually use Reap in place of Rake altogether, you  
can now use Reap via Rake as just another set of availble Rake tasks.  
This baby is blooming!

(Note I’ll post instructions on making your own tasks on the website  
later today.)

Enjoy, T.
