Release Name: 0.6.3
Notes:
== DESCRIPTION:

It's purpose is to provide a set of classes and a framework that will allow testers to specify and execute tests in heterogeneous testing environments.

Changes:
== 0.6.3 / 2008-03-26
* Bugfix: specifying a .spec filename on the commandline did not work - Path expanded before changing directory.
* Bugfix: running an attended .spec on it's own was not possible - attended mode is now set for single runs.
* Cleaned up the Runner's log output
== 0.6.2 / 2008-03-12
* Parsers derived from Rutema::SpecificationParser now receive the system configuration so that conventions like tools, paths and context can be used in element_ methods (this functionality fell through the cracks with the change in parser implementation)
* rutemaweb now has proper commandline help and connects properly to the database
== 0.6.1 / 2008-02-28
* ExtensibleXMLParser made more tolerant (no exceptions when an element cannot be handled)
* Bug: Typo in the class name used in the exceptions fixed
* Bugfix: ActiveRecord connection throws an exception that prevented Historian from establishing a new one. Fixed
* More unit tests
== 0.6.0 / 2008-02-27
* Added Rutema::ExtensibleXMLParser - this parser simplifies parser creation immensely. Check the documentation for details
* "Howto create a parser v0.5.0" officially the fastest deprecation of a document ever. http://patir.rubyforge.org/rutema/parser.html is the new black.
* Corrected some english spelling mistakes (hey, we're not native speakers)
* Fixed an issue with AR cached connections that interfered with unit tests
== 0.5.0 / 2008-02-26
* activerecord reporter is now loaded by default (no need to require it in the configuration file)
* bugfix: step names correctly written in the database
* The web frontend now uses Ramaze
* using patir-0.5.3 because of the chdir bugfixes
* rutema can now test itself! rutemax and rutemah return meaningful exit codes. So there, we do eat our own dogfood
* lots more documentation on usage and how to build a parser
