doodle version 0.1.0 has been released!

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

Doodle is a gem for simplifying the definition of Ruby classes by  
making attributes and their properties more declarative. Doodle is  
eco-friendly: it does not globally modify Object, Class or Module.

Changes:

## 0.1.0 / 2008-04-26

- doodle’s first beta version - the API should remain stable from now on
- created a Google group: [http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-doodle](http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-doodle)
- major change: changed Doodle from module to class so you now use  
class Foo \< Doodle  
instead of  
class Foo \< Doodle::Base
- Doodle::Helper renamed Doodle::Core
- added #parent method - returns outer object in initialization blocks  
(see spec/doodle\_context\_spec for example usage)
- fixed class and singleton attribute inheritance
- rake spec now passes all specs with ruby 1.8.6, ruby 1.9.0 and JRuby  
1.1.1
- added more specs
- added lib/doodle/utils.rb (used by examples)
- removed (half-hearted) support for 1.8.5
- removed redundant methods & excised some cruft
- refactored project to use newgem

## 0.0.11 / 2008-04-13

- refactored attributes and conversions
