### 0.7.0 / 2009-12-08
* Enhancements
* Allow generation of JRuby extensions. Thanks to Alex Coles (myabc) for the
contribution.
This will allow, with proper JDK tools, cross compilation of JRuby gems
from MRI.
```ruby
Rake::JavaExtensionTask.new('my_java_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
# most of ExtensionTask options can be used
# plus, java_compiling:
ext.java_compiling do |gem_spec|
gem_spec.post_install_message = "This is a native JRuby gem!"
end
end
```
Please note that cross-compiling JRuby gems requires either JRUBY_HOME or
JRUBY_PARENT_CLASSPATH environment variables being properly set.
* Allow alteration of the Gem Specification when cross compiling. Closes [#3](https://github.com/rake-compiler/rake-compiler/issues/3)
This is useful to indicate a custom requirement message, like DLLs
installation or similar.
```ruby
Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
ext.cross_compile = true
# ...
ext.cross_compiling do |gem_spec|
gem_spec.post_install_message = "You've installed a binary version of this gem"
end
end
```
* Bugfixes
* Detect GNU make independently of distribution based naming.
Thanks to flori for patches.
* Usage of #dup to duplicate gemspec instead of YAML dumping.
* No longer support Ruby older than 1.8.6
* No longer support RubyGems older than 1.3.5
* Force definition of binary directory and executables. Closes [#11](https://github.com/rake-compiler/rake-compiler/issues/11)
* Workaround path with spaces issues using relative paths. Closes [#6](https://github.com/rake-compiler/rake-compiler/issues/6)
* Removed gemspec, GitHub gems no more
* Known issues
* Usage of rake-compiler under projects with Jeweler requires some tweaks
Please read issue 73) for Jeweler:
http://github.com/technicalpickles/jeweler/issues/73
For a workaround, look here:
http://gist.github.com/251663
### 0.6.0 / 2009-07-25
* Enhancements
* Implemented 'fat-binaries' generation for cross compiling
(for now). Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the suggestion and
original idea.
rake cross native gem RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.8.6:1.9.1
Will package extensions for 1.8 and 1.9 versions of Ruby.
* Can now cross compile extensions for 1.9 using 1.8.x as base.
Be warned: works from 1.8 to 1.9, but not if your default ruby is 1.9
rake cross compile RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.9.1
* Allow simultaneous versions of Ruby to compile extensions.
This change allow 1.8.x compiles co-exist with 1.9.x ones
and don't override each other.
Please perform rake clobber prior compiling again.
* Allow optional source file URL for cross-compile tasks.
(Thanks to deepj for the patches)
rake-compiler cross-ruby VERSION=1.9.1-p0 SOURCE=http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.1-p0.tar.bz2
* Bugfixes
* Removed strict versioning for gems since it clash with fat binaries.
From now on, if your gem only targets a specific version of Ruby, please
indicate it in the Gem::Specification (required_ruby_version)
### 0.5.0 / 2009-04-25
* Enhancements
* Allow generation of multiple gems for Windows (EXPERIMENTAL)
This allows build gems for both VC6 and MinGW builts of Ruby
(Thanks to Jonathan Stott for the suggestion)
```ruby
Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
ext.cross_compile = true
ext.cross_platform = ['i386-mswin32', 'i386-mingw32']
end
```
### 0.4.1 / 2009-04-09
* Enhancements
* Target specific versions of Ruby when generating binaries.
This avoids installing a 1.8.x binary gem in 1.9.x and viceversa.
(Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the patches)
* Bugfixes
* No longer raises error if rake-compiler configuration is missing.
Not all users of a project would have it installed.
(Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the patch)
### 0.4.0 / 2009-04-03
* Enhancements
* Bended the convention for extension folder.
Defining ext_dir for custom extension location.
```ruby
Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension') do |ext|
ext.ext_dir = 'custom/location' # look into custom/location
end # instead of ext/my_extension
```
* Better detection of mingw target across Linux/OSX.
Exposed it as Rake::ExtensionCompiler
* Display list of available tasks when calling rake-compiler script
* Track Ruby full versioning (x.y.z).
This will help the compilation of extensions targetting 1.8.6/7 and 1.9.1
* Bugfixes
* Better output of Rake development tasks (Thanks to Luis Parravicini).
* Proper usage of Gem::Platform for native gems (Thanks to Dirkjan Bussink).
* Don't use autoload for YAML (present problems with Ruby 1.9.1).
### 0.3.1 / 2009-01-09
* Enhancements
* Download cross-ruby source code using HTTP instead of FTP.
* Disabled Tcl/Tk extension building on cross-ruby (helps with 1.9).
* Bugfixes
* Workaround bug introduced by lack of Gem::Specification cloning. Fixes DM LH #757.
* Use proper binary extension on OSX (reported by Dirkjan Bussink).
* Ensure lib/binary task is defined prior clear of requisites.
### 0.3.0 / 2008-12-07
* New features
* Let you specify the Ruby version used for cross compilation instead
of default one.
rake cross compile RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.8
* Enhancements
* Properly update rake-compiler configuration when new version is installed.
* Automated release process to RubyForge, yay!
* Bugfixes
* Corrected documentation to reflect the available options
### 0.2.1 / 2008-11-30
* New features
* Allow cross compilation (cross compile) using mingw32 on Linux or OSX.
* Allow packaging of gems for Windows on Linux or OSX.
* Enhancements
* Made generation of extensions safe and target folders per-platform
* Bugfixes
* Ensure binaries for the specific platform are copied before packaging.
