* enumerable/each_slice.rb [replace]
  Ruby already has #each_slice if you require 'enumerator'. And for 1.9,
  I believe, this will be present automatically. So Facets' each_slice
  has been replaced with a simple redirection to require 'enumerator'.
  Ruby's version is slightly different in that it won't check arity if
  a slice count is not given. For this, use enumerable/each_by.
* array/delete_at.rb [removed]
  Ruby's Array class already has a #delete_at method,
  although this is another method at odds with Hash.
  Use #delete_values_at instead.

* rewrote annotation.rb and moved into more/
* add meta docs to darcs
* added Jan Molic's Debugger(Logger) to explore
* calibre task (worth the effort?)
* added Symbol::generate

* openobject uses self[] instead of @table[]
also update proj/infp to start 1.5 series
* deprecate BaasicObject

== 1.4.5
* move ProjectInfo to proj/info
* better arrangment of repository
* Added nil#status, module#alias_method_chain and enumerable#cascade.
nil#status - Allows a messgae to be passed through a failure chain.
module#alias_method_chain - from rails this is clever idiom for
module-based method wrapping. A limited solution, but since
there's no standard solution as of yet, well support til then.
enumerable#cascade - cascade a list of action on each element
of an enumerable.
* method missing in htmlbuilder effected by basic object fix
* minor update to functor.rb
* change WebAgent to Web
* Removed hash/keys_to_iv b/c it is a poor name. Since the alternative of
  keys_to_instance_variables conveys the wrong idea, decided to just get
  rid of this. Instead use the Rails compatibile hash/variablize_keys.
* 1.4RC3
* initial import

== 1.4.4
* added nil#status - Allows a messgae to be passed through
  a failure chain.
* added module#alias_method_chain - from rails this is clever
  idiom for module-based method wrapping. A limited
  solution, but since there's no standard solution as
  of yet, well support til then.
* added enumerable#cascade - cascade a list of actions on each
  element of an enumerable. Better name for this?
* method missing in htmlbuilder effected by BasicObject fix
  (use __self__.method instead of __metod__)
* minor update to functor.rb. Added @self = function.binding.self.
  Still tweaking for best meta informatin access.
* change WebAgent to Web
* Removed hash/keys_to_iv b/c it is a poor name. Since the alternative
  of #keys_to_instance_variables conveys the wrong idea, decided to just
  get rid of this. Instead use the hash#variablize_keys which is also
  Rails compatibile.

===1.4.2
* Started using Darcs --finally!
* Transition to Darcs has interupted ChangeLog though :(
* Mostly minor fixes in prepeartion for official 1.4 release.
* Adjusted BasicObject slightly, further reducing unhidden methods.
  Among them __object__, __method__ and #as. Also added method_missing
  that detects shadow methods and rebinds them to Object. Keep in mind
  that woun't help you if you override method_missing which is
  typical for this class.
* Fixed bug in BasicObject#__self__.

== 1.4.0
* Added Cookie, HTTP and HTTPAccess of ...'s library.
* OpenObject's __get__ and __set__ methods have been changed
  to __fetch__ and __store__ to correspond to the Hash methods.
* Added OpenCascade, which is like OpenObject but chains access.
* Added ...'s lazy.rb which include's Future and Promise classes.
* Added task.rb, which provides a Rake interface compatible task
  system, but that can be used in any code.
* Improved Hash#traverse (it now does all traversing before yielding).
* kernel/me, kernel/methodname and kernel/method_name have all been
  deprecated in favor of the 1.9 standard kernel/__method__ and
  kernel/__callee__.
* Console::Application is deprecated and is no longer an alias for
  Console::Command.
* Console::Command also now supports run-on flags (eg. -xvzf).
* More's classinherit.rb has been removed, and classmethods.rb will be
  too in  another version or two. You should transition all uses of
  these to core/module/class_extension.rb.
* Updated tuple.rb so that when a string is converted to a Tuple (#to_t)
  the values wll be made integers if they are composed of only numbers.
  If you need all strings you can use a block since the block bypasses
  this auto coercement, eg. to_t{ |v| v }.

== 1.3.1
* Deprecated string/to_arr, and slightly adjusted string#to_a.
  (Not commonly used so not a major change.)
* Minor bug fixes.

== 1.3.0

  * more/aspects.rb
  * core/module/on_included.rb
  * core/module/expirable.rb
  * core/enumerable/accumulate.rb
* Added xoxo.rb, json.rb and rtals.rb.
* Repaired missing data files for units.rb.
* Moved cattr methods from module/ to class/.
* mattr methods are in limbo at the moment.
  (They were aliases for cattr.)

== 1.2.1
* kernel/meta has been renamed to kernel/instance

== 1.2.0
* Added zimba.tm's string/modulize, pathize and methodize.
* Added some Gem methods, self/active?, self/gemspec, self/gempath.

== 1.0.3
* A last ditch attempt to keep facets and calibre as one project.

== 1.0.2
* Added _why's Array modulo.

== 1.0.0
* Sped up string#similarity.
* By popular protest deprecated usage of "AClass.use Facets, :amethod".
* Created nicer layout of facets/support, /group, /english (one day /method).
* Odd sets of facets have been move to facets/group/, eg. facets/group/inflect.
* All is now well preped for a Rolls release shoud that come about.
