  Thanks to Postmodern for raising this issue.

Version 3.2.0 (2012-10-14)

Minor:

• add binman:web task to produce man pages in HTML

Other:

• gemspec: package only roff files from inside man/

Version 3.1.1 (2012-10-13)

Patch:

• load() failed when leading comment header missing

• lstrip() is too powerful; consume lines carefully

Other:

• fix broken link to redcarpet library home page

Version 3.1.0 (2012-02-06)

Minor:

• Added binman help command for use by non-Ruby bin scripts. See README for usage examples from Perl, Python, Node.js, Tcl, AWK, and UNIX shell!

Patch:

• Replace gem install binman --development tip in BinMan::conv() with gem install md2man tip because the former just hangs in RubyGems 1.8.

Other:

• Shorten markdown headings; improve documentation; clean up.

Version 3.0.1 (2012-02-02)

Patch:

• BinMan.help(): ignore -h and --help options after standard -- flag.

• BinMan.show(): write temp file because not all systems support man -l.

Other:

• HISTORY: group changes by version number components.

• README: add instructions on pre-building man pages.

• README: fix installation commands for development.

• bundler suggests moving all dev deps into gemspec.

Version 3.0.0 (2012-01-09)

Major:

• Removed the binman/gemspec helper library because it did not play well with Bundler. Use the standard add_runtime_dependency method instead. This example shows what work is involved in upgrading.

Minor:

• The binman/Rakefile helper library now hooks into Bundler's Rake tasks. Be sure to add the man/**/* files to your gemspec accordingly.

Version 2.0.0 (2011-12-06)

Major:

• Removed the deprecated binman/rake_tasks helper library. Use binman/rakefile instead.

Patch:

• Fixed infinite looping in the binman/gemspec helper library.

Other:

• Upgraded to md2man v1 for Markdown to UNIX man page conversion.

• Do not hard-code the version number in binman/gemspec helper.

Version 1.1.0 (2011-11-05)

Alert:

• The binman/rake_tasks library has been renamed (with deprecation) to binman/rakefile. The deprecation warning will be removed in the next major release.

Minor:

• Add binman/gemspec packaging convenience library which automatically builds and includes your UNIX man page files in your gem packages and also adds binman as a runtime and development gem dependency.

Version 1.0.0 (2011-10-13)

Major:

• The BinMan::dump() method and corresponding binman dump command now extract the leading comment header from their input before returning the markdown to roff conversion thereof.

• The BinMan::read() method and corresponding binman read command have been renamed to BinMan::load() and binman load respectively.

Minor:

• Added BinMan::conv() method and corresponding binman conv command to encapsulate the markdown to roff conversion process.

Patch:

• Pre-built man pages included alongside a bin/ script were not displayed. Instead, binman was (incorrectly) always trying to convert the leading comment header from the bin/ script into a UNIX man page for display.

Other:

• README: explain dev deps and man/ dir packaging.

Version 0.1.2 (2011-10-13)

Minor:

• The Redcarpet2 library is not a runtime gem dependency anymore.

Other:

• Extracted BinMan::Renderer into redcarpet-manpage library.

• Forgot to introduce leading comment headers in binman(1) man page.

Version 0.1.1 (2011-10-13)

Minor:

• BinMan.read() now supports embedded document (=begin/=end) comments also. See binman(1) for the new description of leading comment headers.

Patch:

• Ignore encoding comment line after shebang line.

• roff: fix first paragraphs inside list items.

Other:

• gemspec: build man page files before building gem.

• binman: raise error and suggest --help option.

• README: add link to example of binman markdown.

• README: add obligatory screenshot! >:-)

Version 0.0.1 (2011-10-12)

First release! Happy birthday! Woohoo! :-)
