## TODO

- Change Thor.start to parse ARGV in a single pass
- Improve spec coverage for Thor::Runner
- Improve help output to list shorthand switches, too
- Investigate and fix deep namespacing ("foo:bar:baz") issues

## 0.9.8, released 2008-10-20

- Fixed some tiny issues that were introduced lately.

## 0.9.7, released 2008-10-13

- Setting global method options on the initialize method works as expected: All other tasks will accept these global options in addition to their own.
- Added ‘group’ notion to Thor task sets (class Thor); by default all tasks are in the ‘standard’ group. Running ‘thor -T’ will only show the standard tasks - adding —all will show all tasks. You can also filter on a specific group using the —group option: thor -T —group advanced

## 0.9.6, released 2008-09-13

- Generic improvements

## 0.9.5, released 2008-08-27

- Improve Windows compatibility
- Update (incorrect) README and task.thor sample file
- Options hash is now frozen (once returned)
- Allow magic predicates on options object. For instance: `options.force?`
- Add support for :numeric type
- BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Refactor Thor::Options. You cannot access shorthand forms in options hash anymore (for instance, options[:f])
- Allow specifying optional args with default values: method_options(:user => "mislav")
- Don‘t write options for nil or false values. This allows, for example, turning color off when running specs.
- Exit with the status of the spec command to help CI stuff out some.

## 0.9.4, released 2008-08-13

- Try to add Windows compatibility.
- BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: options hash is now accessed as a property in your class and is not passed as last argument anymore
- Allow options at the beginning of the argument list as well as the end.
- Make options available with symbol keys in addition to string keys.
- Allow true to be passed to Thor#method_options to denote a boolean option.
- If loading a thor file fails, don‘t give up, just print a warning and keep going.
- Make sure that we re-raise errors if they happened further down the pipe than we care about.
- Only delete the old file on updating when the installation of the new one is a success
- Make it Ruby 1.8.5 compatible.
- Don‘t raise an error if a boolean switch is defined multiple times.
- Thor::Options now doesn‘t parse through things that look like options but aren‘t.
- Add URI detection to install task, and make sure we don‘t append ".thor" to URIs
- Add rake2thor to the gem binfiles.
- Make sure local Thorfiles override system-wide ones.
