Hi folks,

I'm happy to announce that HighLine should now be Ruby 1.9.1 as of
version 1.5.1.
compatible. =A0 Please let us know if you run into problems!

What is HighLine?
-----------------

(from the README)

HighLine was designed to ease the tedious tasks of doing console
input and output with low-level methods like gets() and puts().
HighLine provides a robust system for requesting data from a user,
without needing to code all the error checking and validation rules
and without needing to convert the typed Strings into what your
program really needs. =A0Just tell HighLine what you're after, and let
it do all the work.

What's new in this release?
---------------------------

(highlights from the CHANGELOG)

* Fixed the long standing echo true bug.
=A0(reported by Lauri Tuominen)
* Improved Windows API calls to support the redirection of STDIN.
=A0(patch by Aaron Simmons)
* Updated gem specification to avoid a deprecated call.
* Made a minor documentation clarification about character mode support.
* Worked around some API changes in Ruby's standard library in Ruby 1.9.
=A0(patch by Jake Benilov)

Where can I learn more?
-----------------------

HighLine is hosted on RubyForge, with source on Github

Project page: =A0 http://rubyforge.org/projects...
Source: http://github.com/jeg...
Documentation: =A0http://highline.ruby...
Downloads: =A0 =A0 =A0http://rubyforge.org/frs/?grou...

How do I get HighLine?
----------------------

HighLine is a gem, so as long as you have RubyGems installed it's as
simple as:

$ sudo gem install highline

Our Thanks!
-----------

We want to thank the folks who helped make this release possible:

Lauri Tuominen
Aaron Simmons
Jake Benilov

Thanks so much for the feedback, patches, and bug reports!
