[ANN] Prawn 0.8 Released

[Gregory Brown]

Hi folks,

Prawn 0.8 is now ready for public consumption. The sea is still
turbulent as we attempt to set a course for 1.0, but those who are
brave will find a number of nice improvements.

!!!! Be absolutely sure to read the release notes carefully, there is
a lot there !!!!
http://wiki.github.com/sandal/prawn/changelog

Git Tags are:
http://github.com/sandal/prawn/tree/0.8.4
http://github.com/sandal/prawn-layout/tree/0.8.4
http://github.com/madriska/prawn-security/tree/0.8.4

But you can of course just "gem install prawn" as well and it'll do
the appropriate gem locking to get you the right versions of
everything.

I tried to note all the people who contributed to this release in the
CHANGELOG, but let me just say thanks again for all your hard work.
Prawn has an awesome contributor base, and that makes the project a
whole lot more fun for me.

Enjoy! And keep those patches, bug reports, and questions coming.

Hi, Gregory! Thanks and congratulations for this milestone.

I am building the Debian packages for Prawn by combining prawn, ttfunk
and pdf-inspect (as you have told me, they should not be seen as
individual packages for our users but as integral parts of prawn,
right?) However, both packages have only tags for 0.7.1 - Should I
package the 0.7.1 tags, or the newest commits? Or can you give me the
0.8.4 (or corresponding) tags?

Thanks,

I'll go tag them now, but if you look at the 0.8.4 prawn tag it
indicates the commits you should be building against:

Hmm.. and now that I look at that, it seems messed up. Let me investigate.

I think I found an issue here. Please wait until 0.8.5, and everything
will be tagged.
