  libraries may want to access.
* Publicly exposed the get_character() method, per user requests.

== 1.2.0

* Added a VERSION constant.
* Added support for hidden menu commands.
* Added Object.or_ask() when using highline/import.

== 1.0.4

* Moved the HighLine project to Subversion.

* Moved to a forked development/stable version numbering.

== 1.0.2

* Removed old and broken help tests.
* Fixed test case typo found by David A. Black.
* Added ERb escapes processing to lists, for coloring list items.  Color escapes
  do not add to list element size.
* HighLine now throws EOFError when input is exhausted.

== 1.0.1

* Minor bug fix:  Moved help initialization to before response building, so help
  would show up in the default responses.

== 1.0.0

* Fixed documentation typo pointed out by Gavin Kistner.
* Added <tt>gather = ...</tt> option to question for fetching entire Arrays or
  Hashes filled with answers.  You can set +gather+ to a count of answers to
  collect, a String or Regexp matching the end of input, or a Hash where each
  key can be used in a new question.
* Added File support to HighLine.ask().  You can specify a _directory_ and a
  _glob_ pattern that combine into a list of file choices the user can select
  from.  You can choose to receive the user's answer as an open filehandle or as
  a Pathname object.
* Added Readline support for history and editing.
* Added tab completion for menu  and file selection selection (requires
  Readline).
* Added an optional character limit for input.
* Added a complete help system to HighLine's shell menu creation tools.

== 0.6.1

* Removed termios dependancy in gem, to fix Windows' install.

== 0.6.0

* Implemented HighLine.choose() for menu handling.
  * Provided shortcut <tt>choose(item1, item2, ...)</tt> for simple menus.
  * Allowed Ruby code to be attached to each menu item, to create a complete
    menu solution.
  * Provided for total customization of the menu layout.
  * Allowed for menu selection by index, name or both.
  * Added a _shell_ mode to allow menu selection with additional details
    following the name.
* Added a list() utility method that can be invoked just like color().  It can
  layout Arrays for you in any output in the modes <tt>:columns_across</tt>,
  <tt>:columns_down</tt>, <tt>:inline</tt> and <tt>:rows</tt>
* Added support for <tt>echo = "*"</tt> style settings.  User code can now
  choose the echo character this way.
* Modified HighLine to user the "termios" library for character input, if
  available.  Will return to old behavior (using "stty"), if "termios" cannot be
  loaded.
* Improved "stty" state restoring code.
* Fixed "stty" code to handle interrupt signals.
* Improved the default auto-complete error message and exposed this message
  through the +responses+ interface as <tt>:no_completion</tt>.

== 0.5.0

* Implemented <tt>echo = false</tt> for HighLine::Question objects, primarily to
  make fetching passwords trivial.
* Fixed an auto-complete bug that could cause a crash when the user gave an
  answer that didn't complete to any valid choice.
* Implemented +case+ for HighLine::Question objects to provide character case 
  conversions on given answers.  Can be set to <tt>:up</tt>, <tt>:down</tt>, or
  <tt>:capitalize</tt>.
* Exposed <tt>@answer</tt> to the response system, to allow response that are
  aware of incorrect input.
* Implemented +confirm+ for HighLine::Question objects to allow for verification
  for sensitive user choices.  If set to +true+, user will have to answer an
  "Are you sure?  " question.  Can also be set to the question to confirm with
  the user.

== 0.4.0

* Added <tt>@wrap_at</tt> and <tt>@page_at</tt> settings and accessors to
  HighLine, to control text flow.
* Implemented line wrapping with adjustable limit.
* Implemented paged printing with adjustable limit.

== 0.3.0

* Added support for installing with setup.rb.
* All output is now treated as an ERb sequence, allowing Ruby code to be
  embedded in output strings.
* Added support for ANSI color sequences in say().  (And everything else
  by extension.)
* Added whitespace handling for answers.  Can be set to <tt>:strip</tt>,
  <tt>:chomp</tt>, <tt>:collapse</tt>, <tt>:strip_and_collapse</tt>,
  <tt>:chomp_and_collapse</tt>, <tt>:remove</tt>, or <tt>:none</tt>.
* Exposed question details to ERb completion through @question, to allow for
  intelligent responses.
* Simplified HighLine internals using @question.
* Added support for fetching single character input either with getc() or
  HighLine's own cross-platform terminal input routine.
* Improved type conversion to handle user defined classes.

  switched implementation to include?().
* Added range checks for @above and @below.
* Fixed the bug causing ask() to swallow NoMethodErrors.
* Rolled ask_on_error() into responses.
* Redirected imports to Kernel from Object.
* Added support for <tt>validate = lambda { ... }</tt>.
