Rev 0.2.0 brings with it two important features.

The first is support for Ruby 1.8.6. Most Rubyists are using the Ruby 1.8.x branch, so this brings with it the ability for the larger Ruby community using the 1.8.x branch to use Rev in the project.

The next feature is SSL support. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Ruby's OpenSSL plugin, SSL support remains a Ruby 1.9 specific feature, although this will hopefully change in future releases of Rev.
