* Added <tt>gather = ...</tt> option to question for fetching entire Arrays or
Hashes filled with answers. You can set +gather+ to a count of answers to
collect, a String or Regexp matching the end of input, or a Hash where each
key can be used in a new question.
* Added File support to HighLine.ask(). You can specify a _directory_ and a
_glob_ pattern that combine into a list of file choices the user can select

Readline).

menu solution.
* Provided for total customization of the menu layout.

* Added a _shell_ mode to allow menu selection with additional details
following the name.

layout Arrays for you in any output in the modes <tt>:columns_across</tt>,
<tt>:columns_down</tt>, <tt>:inline</tt> and <tt>:rows</tt>
* Added support for <tt>echo = "*"</tt> style settings. User code can now
choose the echo character this way.

available. Will return to old behavior (using "stty"), if "termios" cannot be
loaded.
* Improved "stty" state restoring code.

make fetching passwords trivial.

HighLine, to control text flow.
* Implemented line wrapping with adjustable limit.

by extension.)
* Added whitespace handling for answers. Can be set to <tt>:strip</tt>,
<tt>:chomp</tt>, <tt>:collapse</tt>, <tt>:strip_and_collapse</tt>,
<tt>:chomp_and_collapse</tt>, <tt>:remove</tt>, or <tt>:none</tt>.
* Exposed question details to ERb completion through @question, to allow for
intelligent responses.
* Simplified HighLine internals using @question.
* Added support for fetching single character input either with getc() or
HighLine's own cross-platform terminal input routine.
