v1.3.1 - Jun 26 2011

Thanks to gnufied for the patches!

• Allow flags to appear after arguments
• Gemfile.lock no longer tracked in git, per best practices

v1.3.0 - May 1 2011

• Help now shows the default values based on what's in the configuration (closed #10)
• Fixed bug where options specified in config cannot be overridden on the command line (closed #43)
• Scaffolded apps no longer require a 1.8.7-only test class (closed #42)
• You can now skip pre and post blocks per command (see Hooks for more)
• You can specify a program description and it shows up in the help (closed #40)
• JRuby support (i.e. just made sure it actually works on JRuby)
• Test coverage of the gli command and a basic scaffolded site (closed #30)

v1.2.6 - Mar 6 2011

• Help output now makes distinction between global and command options
• Error messages on bad invocations now give you a clue as to where to look (e.g. use 'gli help' for list of commands)
• Using gemspec and add_development_dependency instead of putting gems in the Gemfile
• Massive overhaul of rubydoc; everything's consistent, up to date, and usable now
• Created the all-important cheatsheet
• Refactored some nasty methods

v1.2.5 - Dec 12 2010

• Corrected gemspec to include all the files
• Fixed issue with Ruby 1.9 case statement

v1.2.4 - Dec 12 2010

This version is broken, as it doesn't include ONE file in the .gem

v1.2.3 - Dec 12 2010

This version is broken, as it doesn't include two files in the .gem, and is not compatible with Ruby 1.9

• new GLI apps will exit nonzero on errors (see Error Handling)
• Support for custom exit codes
• GLI now uses an environment variable to allow for debugging caught exceptions
• GLI now uses the width of the terminal for displaying help messages, not just hard-coding 80

v1.2.2 - Dec 11 2010

• Changed uses of map(&:symbol) to older form, since this doesn't work on 100% of Ruby 1.8.7s.

v1.2.1 - Nov 26 2010

• Changed default data structure of options back to a Hash. If you want to use the OpenStruct subclass Options, simply put use_openstruct true in your command line definition.

v1.2.0 - Nov 26 2010

• Added ability to use help command to list commands suitable for creating bash completion script
• options and global_options will now contain values for all aliases of each flag and switch, so if you created a flag with flag [:f,:flag] and the user specifies -f foo on the command line, both options[:f] and options[:flag] will have the value foo. Same behavior for --flag=foo.
• You may now no-longer use names that have already been used. So if you declare a switch switch :foo and then later declare a flag flag [:f,:foo], you get an ArgumentError. This is only checked within relevant scope, so you can still use the same option names between commands, and you can still have the same option name once in global and once in command scope. This is really a bugfix as the behavior of GLI was not clear before.
• long_desc now shows up in generated rdoc for flags and switches
• Scaffoling now generates a usable Gemfile for bundler
• More direct support for version numbers in GLI-managed apps

v1.1.3 - Oct 24 2010

Changed the way we locate FILE's directory; if it's a symlink it would've have worked. Required adding :realpath method to File for pre 1.9.2 rubies
