Per-release changes to Geocoder.

== 0.9.12 (2011 Apr 6)

* Add support for Mongoid.
* Add bearing_to/from methods to geocoded objects.
* Improve SQLite's distance calculation heuristic.
* Fix: Geocoder::Calculations.geographic_center was modifying its argument in-place (reported by github.com/joelmats).
* Fix: sort 'near' query results by distance when using SQLite.
* Clean up input: search for coordinates as a string with space after comma yields zero results from Google. Now we get rid of any such space before sending the query.
* DEPRECATION: Geocoder.near should not take <tt>:limit</tt> or <tt>:offset</tt> options.
* DEPRECATION: Change argument format of all methods that take lat/lon as separate arguments. Now you must pass the coordinates as an array [lat,lon], but you may alternatively pass a address string (will look up coordinates) or a geocoded object (or any object that implements a to_coordinates method which returns a [lat,lon] array).

== 0.9.11 (2011 Mar 25)

* Add support for result caching.
* Add support for Geocoder.ca geocoding service.
* Add +bearing+ attribute to objects returned by geo-aware queries (thanks github.com/matellis).
* Add config setting: language.
* Add config settings: use_https, google_api_key (thanks github.com/svesely).
* DEPRECATION: Geocoder.search now returns an array instead of a single result.
* DEPRECATION: obj.nearbys second argument is now an options hash (instead of units). Please change <tt>obj.nearbys(20, :km)</tt> to: <tt>obj.nearbys(20, :units => :km)</tt>.

== 0.9.10 (2011 Mar 9)

* Fix broken scopes (github.com/mikepinde).
* Fix broken Ruby 1.9 and JRuby compatibility (don't require json gem).

== 0.9.9 (2011 Mar 9)

* Add support for IP address geocoding via FreeGeoIp.net.
* Add support for Yahoo PlaceFinder geocoding API.
* Add support for custom geocoder data handling by passing a block to geocoded_by or reverse_geocoded_by.
* Add <tt>Rack::Request#location</tt> method for geocoding user's IP address.
* Change gem name to geocoder (no more rails-geocoder).
* Gem now works outside of Rails.
* DEPRECATION: +fetch_coordinates+ no longer takes an argument.
* DEPRECATION: +fetch_address+ no longer takes an argument.
* DEPRECATION: Geocoder.search now returns a single result instead of an array.
* DEPRECATION: <tt>fetch_coordinates!</tt> has been superceded by +geocode+ (then save your object manually).
* DEPRECATION: <tt>fetch_address!</tt> has been superceded by +reverse_geocode+ (then save your object manually).
* Fix: don't die when trying to get coordinates with a nil address (github.com/zmack).
