## 1.4.2 - 12-Oct-2014

- Updated Rakefile, README and gemspec.

- Minor updates to the test file and examples.

## 1.4.1 - 17-Jul-2011

- Now works with Ruby 1.9.x. Thanks go to Shura for the patch.

- Refactored the gemspec. Gem building code is now handled by Rake tasks.

- Refactored the Rakefile. Added a default task, removed the old install task, and namespaced the gem related tasks.

## 1.4.0 - 5-Sep-2009

- Fixed a packaging bug where the libs weren't actually being included! Gah! Thanks go to Steven Hilton for the spot.

- Other minor refactorings to the gemspec.

- The release number does not reflect any code changes. I simply ran out of numbers. :)

## 1.3.9 - 29-Jul-2009

- Now compatible with Ruby 1.9.x.

- Gemspec updates, including a license change to Artistic 2.0.

- Added individual rake tasks for testing Getopt::Long and Getopt::Std.

- Changed the 'release - date' format of this file.

- The test-unit library was switched from a standard dependency to a development dependency.

## 1.3.8 - 6-Jan-2008

- Fixed RF bug #23477 - Getopt::Std inadvertently raises an error if you pass a letter (without a hyphen) as an argument to a switch that matches that letter, e.g. "-a a" should be legal. Thanks go to an anonymous user for the spot.

- Added tests for RF bug #23477.

- Added Test::Unit 2.x as a prerequisite.

## 1.3.7 - 27-Jul-2008

- Fixed a potential infinite hash recursion bug in ARGV processing. This was smoked out as the result of the alternate hash implementations in JRuby and Ruby 1.9.

- Added the example programs to the gemspec.

- Removed the ts_all.rb file, and renamed the other test files. The Rakefile test task was updated accordingly.

## 1.3.6 - 8-Aug-2007

- The Getopt::StdError class is now Getopt::Std::Error.

- The Getopt::LongError class is now Getopt::Long::Error.

- Added some inline rdoc documentation to the source code.

- Added a Rakefile with tasks for installation and testing.

- Removed the install.rb file - use the 'rake install' task instead.

## 1.3.5 - 5-Jul-2006

- Fixed a bug where multiple long switches with the same first character could cause invalid results. Thanks go to Michael Campbell for the spot.

- Added documentation to the README file that explains what happens if you specify multiple long switches with the same first character and no short switch alias.

## 1.3.4 - 7-Mar-2006

- Fixed Getopt::Long so that it can handle embedded hyphens in the long form, e.g. --foo-bar. Thanks go to Mark Meves for the spot.

- Corresponding test suite additions.

- Added example to the 'example_long.rb' file that uses long form with embedded hyphens.

## 1.3.3 - 22-Feb-2006

- Bug fix for the two argument form of Getopt::Long.getopts.

- Corresponding test suite additions.

## 1.3.2 - 13-Feb-2006

- Improved error message if an option is passed without a preceding switch.

- Minor documentation fixes and clarifications.

## 1.3.1 - 18-Nov-2005

- Added support for compressed switches with getopt/long.

- More tests.

- Fixed a bug in the gemspec.

## 1.3.0 - 4-Nov-2005

- Added the Getopt::Long class (long.rb). This is a complete revamp of the old getoptlong package, with ideas tossed in from Perl's Getopt::Long package. See the README and example script for more detail.

- Added an example, and renamed the "test_std.rb" example to "example_std.rb".

- Added lots of documentation to the README file.

- Updated the MANIFEST, test suite, etc.

## 1.2.0 - 24-Oct-2005

- Altered the way multiple occurrences of the same switch are handled, for those switches that accept arguments.

## 1.1.0 - 7-Oct-2005

- Changed parser, added a bit stricter enforcement

- Now handles squished arguments properly, e.g. "-ID" as well as "-I -D"

- Some test suite changes
