About
History is a history file parser. It can parse common history file layouts and provide the contents in a structured model. This can be useful for a number of things, in particular it can be used to generate tag messages and add pre-release change lists to release announcements.
Example
Given a simple history file, HISTORY.rdoc, as such:
= RELEASE HISTORY
== 0.2.0 / 2011-10-20
This release improves things considerably.
Changes:
* Improves this feature.
* Adds that feature.
== 0.1.0 / 2010-09-04
This is the initial release.
Changes:
* Reworked namespace.
* Spun-off project from that other project.
We can use History to parse the file and query if for specifics.
history = History.new('HISTORY.rdoc')
history[0].version #=> '0.2.0'
