= Version 0.8 (2006-07-29)

== Summary

This release adds a tutorial to the user manual, and improves the
tools and examples.

== Details

=== User manual

  • A tutorial, based on the counter example, has been added to the
    user manual.

  • The user manual’s appearance has been dramatically improved with
    syntax coloring for source code, and {graphics for admonitions and
    navigation}[http://tango.freedesktop.org].

  • The examples’ Rakefiles now invoke all tests present in
    the directory.

=== Examples

  • A specification, expressed in unit test format, has been added to
    the counter example.

  • A –name or -n option, which lets you specify an
    identifier for a generated test, has been added to the
    generate_test.rb tool.

  • Running rake clobber in an example directory no
    longer destroys documentation in the Ruby-VPI directory.

=== VPI utility layer

  • The value of a handle’s boolean VPI property is treated as +false+
    if it is zero, because zero is +false+ in the C language.

== Acknowledgment

  • Thanks to Phil T. for correcting the URL of the RHDL website,
    in the user manual.
