Rake 0.8.0 is released. The docs have not been updated yet, but I didn't want to delay the new version for that. We will get the documents up to date shortly.

In the meantime, here is the latest change list entries:

== Version 0.8.0

* Added task parameters (e.g. "rake build[version7]")
* Made task parameters passable to prerequisites.
* The 'task' command will now accept task argument names.
* Comments are limited to 80 columns or so (suggested by Jamis Buck).
* Added -D to display full comments (suggested by Jamis Buck).
* The rake program will set the status value used in any explicit
exit(n) calls. (patch provided by Stephen Touset)
* Fixed error in functional tests that were not including session (and
silently skipping the functionl tests).
* Removed --usage and make -h the same as -H.
* Make a prettier inspect for tasks.
