Release 0.8.0: Sep 12, 2004
 * Remove need for library stubs.  Set the RUBYOPT environment variable to include 
  "rrubygems", and a normal require will find gem files.  Continue to use 'require_gem    gem_name, version' to specify gem versions.
 * Deprecated "test_suite_file" gemspec attribute in favor of "test_files" array.
 * Generates rdoc by default on installs.
 * Adopted tar/gzip file format, thanks to Mauricio Fernandez.
 * "gem rdoc" allows generation of rdoc after gem installation (will add a "gem test" 
 * Application stubs can now accept an optional parameter of _VERSION_ that will run
  an arbitrary version of the application requested.
 * Various bug fixes
 * Various platform-independency improvements
 * "gem spec --all" displays spec info for all installed version of a given gem.
 * Dynamic caching of sources
 * Support for user-definable sources on the command line (thanks Assaph Mehr)
 * More intelligent support for platform-dependent gems.  Use Platform::CURRENT when
  building a gem to set its platform to the one you're building on.  Installation
  displays a choice of platform-dependent gems, allowing the user to pick.
 * Added "gem unpack" for "unpacking" a gem to the current directory

Release 0.7.0: Jul 9, 2004
 * See ChangeLog. 

Release 0.6.0: Jun 8, 2004
 * Collapse output of --search and --list (and gem_server) operations so 
   that each gem is listed only once, with each of its versions listed 
   on the same line.
  
  * bin/gem: new --upgrade-all option allows one to upgrade every
    installed gem

  * new #required_ruby_version attribute added to gem specification for 
    specifying a dependency on which version of ruby the gem needs.	
    Format it accepts is the same as the Gem::Version::Requirement 
    format:
      spec.required_ruby_version = "> 1.8.0" 

  * --install-stub defaults to true, so library stubs are created 

Release 0.5.0: Jun 6, 2004
  * Jim added the ability to specify version constraints to avoid API incompatibilities.  This has been the subject of much debate for the past couple of months, with many ideas and code contributed by Eivind Eklund and Mauricio Fernandez.  The following set of assertions shows how it works:
    assert_inadequate("1.3", ">* 1.4")
    assert_adequate(  "1.4", ">* 1.4")
    assert_adequate(  "1.5", ">* 1.4")
    assert_inadequate("2.0", ">* 1.4") # This one is key--the new operator disallows major version number differences.

  * Group gem search output when multiple versions exist for a given gem:
  activerecord (0.7.8, 0.7.7, 0.7.6, 0.7.5)
    Implements the ActiveRecord pattern for ORM.

  * Add arbitrary RDoc-able files via gemspec (not just Ruby source files)  for people who have, for example, README.rdoc in their distributions.  Add to gemspec via: spec.extra_rdoc_files = ["list", "of", "files"].  Ruby files are automatically included.

  * Some small bug fixes

  
Release 0.4.0: May 31, 2004
  * Minor bug fixes including Windows compatability issues

Release 0.3.0: April 30, 2004
  * Cleanup of command-line arguments and handling.  Most commands accept a --local or --remote modifier.
  * Creation of Application Gems (packages that include executable programs).  See http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?DeveloperGuide for information on how to use it.
  * Basic functionality for installing binary gems from source (:extensions property of gem specification holds an array of paths to extconf.rb files to be used for compilation)
  * Install library "stub" allowing a normal 'require' to work (which then does the rubygems require and 'require_gem'
  * --run-tests runs the test suite specified by the "test_suite_file" property of a gem specification
  * HTTP Proxy support works.  Rewrite of HTTP code.
  * Unit and functional tests added (see Rakefile).
  * Prompt before remote-installing dependencies during gem installation.
  * Config file for storing preferences for 'gem' command usage.
  * Generally improved error messages (still more work to do)
  * Rearranged gem directory structure for cleanliness.
  
Release 0.2.0: March 14, 2004
  * Initial public release
