Release Name: 0.5.5

Notes:
= Storable - v0.5

Marshal Ruby classes into and out of multiple formats (yaml, json, csv, tsv)

== Example
    
    require 'storable'
    
    class Machine < Storable
      field :environment            # Define field names for Machine. The
      field :role                   # default type is String, but you can
      field :position => Integer    # specify a type using a hash syntax.
    end
    
    mac1 = Machine.new              # Instances of Machine have accessors
    mac1.environment = "stage"      # just like regular attributes. 
    mac1.role = "app"
    mac1.position = 1
    
    puts "# YAML", mac1.to_yaml     # Note: the field order is maintained     
    puts "# CSV", mac1.to_csv       # => stage,app,1
    puts "# JSON", mac1.to_json     # Note: field order not maintained.
    
    mac2 = Machine.from_yaml(mac1.to_yaml)
    puts mac2.environment           # => "stage"
    puts mac2.position.class        # => Fixnum
