[ANN] doodle 0.1.9 Released

[Sean O'Halpin]

doodle version 0.1.9 has been released.

* <http://doodle.rubyforge.org>

Doodle is a gem for simplifying the definition of Ruby classes by
making attributes and their properties more declarative. Doodle is
eco-friendly: it does not globally modify Object, Class or Module.

Changes:

## 0.1.9 / 2008-08-13
- Features:
- to_hash
- doodle do .. end blocks now support #has, #from, #must and
#arg_order
- will now initialize a setter from a block by calling kind.new if
kind is specified and kind is a Doodle or a Proc, e.g.

class Animal
has :species
end

class Barn
has :animals, :collect => Animal
end

class Farm
has Barn
end

farm = Farm do
# this is new - will call Barn.new(&block)
barn do
animal 'chicken'
animal 'pig'
end
end

Will not try this for an attribute with :abstract => true

- attributes now have :doc option
- attributes now have :abstract option - will not try to
auto-instantiate an object from this class
- attributes now have a :readonly attribute - will not allow setting
outside initialization
- Doodle::Utils
- deep_copy(obj)
- normalize_keys!(hash, recursive = false, method = :to_sym),
optionally recurse into child hashes
- symbolize_keys!(hash, recursive = false)
- stringify_keys!(hash, recursive = false)

- Experimental:
- Doodle::App for handlng command line application options
- doodle/datatypes - added more datatypes

- Bug fixes:
- fixed reversion in 0.1.8 which enabled full backtrace from within
doodle.rb
- fixed bug where required attributes defined after attributes with
default values were not being validated (had 'break' instead of 'next')
