Fancy 0.8.0 released

[Christopher Bertels]

Hello everyone,

I just released Fancy v0.8.0.

The updated RubyGem is also online: http://rubygems.org/gems/fancy

As usual, install via:

$ rbx -S gem install fancy

Alternatively, you can always pull and use the latest version on the master branch from GitHub.

A recent version of Rubinius is suggested (I usually just upgrade rbx from the master branch once in a while).

Let me know if you have any problems with installation or anything else.

Here's the Changelog:
