Release Name: 0.7.1

Notes:
= SysInfo - v0.6

All your system-independent infoz in one handy class. 

SysInfo does a takes a very quick glance at the system it's running on and exposes the results as YAML, JSON, CSV, or TSV. It also determines a platform identifier for the system that takes the form: VM-OS-IMPLEMENTATION-ARCHITECTURE.

=== Platform Identifier Examples

    ruby-unix-osx-i386
    ruby-unix-osx-powerpc
    ruby-unix-linux-x86_64
    java-win32-windows-i386
    java-win32-mingw-i386
    
For the complete list of operating systems, implementations and architectures that SysInfo is aware of, see:

* <tt>$ sysinfo os</tt> 
* <tt>$ sysinfo impl</tt> 
* <tt>$ sysinfo arch</tt>
