= Rake 0.8.6 Released
2+
3+
Rake version 0.8.5 introduced greatly improved support for executing
4+
commands on Windows. The "sh" command now has the same semantics on
5+
Windows that it has on Unix based platforms.
6+
7+
Rake version 0.8.6 includes minor fixes the the RDoc generation.
8+
9+

some implementations).
26+
27+
== What is Rake
28+
29+
Rake is a build tool similar to the make program in many ways. But
30+
instead of cryptic make recipes, Rake uses standard Ruby code to
31+
declare tasks and dependencies. You have the full power of a modern
32+
scripting language built right into your build tool.
33+
34+
== Availability
35+
36+
The easiest way to get and install rake is via RubyGems ...
37+
38+
gem install rake (you may need root/admin privileges)
39+
40+
Otherwise, you can get it from the more traditional places:

== Thanks
47+
48+
As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes. The
49+
following people either contributed patches, made suggestions or made
50+
otherwise helpful comments. Thanks to ...
