<ul>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed AddressManager, it now works with versions of Ruby that don't allow modifications to sets during iteration.
</li>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed PackageManager::Gem, it now works with newer versions of Open4 that may incorrectly return nil STDOUT.
</li>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed AutomateIt's test suite, it now works with newer versions of RSpec.
</li>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed PackageManager::Cpan, it now works with newer versions of CPAN when installing a package that's been uninstalled before.
</li>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed ShellManager#ln_s, it can now link a directory to a directory and understand a target symlink's relative path.
</li>
<li>
<code>(+)</code> Improved HelpfulERB, it now displays friendly errors containing filename and line number in templates, including "fields.yml" and "tags.yml", and will honor the "--trace" flag to optionally display backtraces.
</li>
<li>
<code>(+)</code> Improved DownloadManager, it will now only download if the file isn't already present, but you can override this with a :force option.
</li>
<li>
<code>(+)</code> Improved PackageManager::Gem, it can now install a specific version of a gem: `package_manager.install("rails", :with => :gem, :version => "2.3.4")`
</li>
<li>
Improved PackageManager::Gem, it will now clear the local Gem cache so that "require" calls can see newly-installed packages without restarting AutomateIt.

<ul>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed ShellManager#rm and ShellManager#mv, can now remove and move invalid symlinks.
</li>
<li>
Improved Object#unique_methods, it now returns an array of symbols.

Version
0.80116
—
released
January 16, 2008
</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>
<code>(!)</code> Fixed bug that prevented AutomateIt from working without the Builder gem's "blankslate" library. This fix should completely eliminate AutomateIt's dependence on Builder and ActiveSupport, like 0.71230 was supposed to do. This error was missed because other gems provide a "blankslate"-workalike and thus merely uninstalling Builder wasn't enough to confirm the previous fix.
</li>
<li>
<code>(+)</code> Improved PackageManager::Gem, it can now use commands other than "gem" to manage RubyGem packages, such as "gem1.8". It now detects the best available command, but also lets you specify a default or choose one on a per-call basis. See the PackageManager::Gem documentation for examples. Comments are sought on the new syntax.
</li>
<li>
Improved PackageManager#_list_normalizer, it now accepts comments mid-way through a line and can parse arrays of strings.
</li>
<li>
Updated misc/setup_rubygems.sh, a simple shell script that downloads and install RubyGems 1.0.1, useful for bootstrapping a system to get AutomateIt running on it.
</li>
</ul>

Version
0.71230
—
released
December 30, 2007
</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>
<code>(!)</code> Removed all code that relied on the ActiveSupport and Builder libraries. The new, AutomateIt-specific replacements for these libraries are guaranteed to work correctly and load much more quickly.
</li>
<li>
<code>(!)</code> Removed the "--to-xml" option from "aitag" and "aifield". If anyone relied on this functionality, post to the mailing list and I'll write a replacement.
</li>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed PlatformManager::LSB, it no longer converts OS release versions like "7.10" into "7.1".
</li>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed "aitags" with "--tags" options, it now returns a sorted array instead of a set.
</li>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed case/when statements to work with Ruby 1.9.
</li>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed TemplateManager#render, it now only runs file-related checks when rendering to a file.
</li>
<li>
Improved PackageManager::CPAN's "cpan_wrapper.pl". It's now just a single file that can be used as both a command and library.
</li>
<li>
Improved EditManager. In preview mode, it now checks to make sure the file is readable, rather than failing due to permission denied errors.
</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
<code>(%)</code> Fixed PackageManager::CPAN driver. It now provides a workaround to activate CPAN if it wasn't already configured, previously it'd hang as CPAN tried to get input. It now provides a workaround for rejecting all CPAN inputs because the CPAN default options are surprisingly dangerous. It now tries harder to execute the Perl helper files, previously these wouldn't be executed on some OSes. The helpers' core logic has been abstracted into a wrapper library.
