Beta version 0.9.0.9 is now available with:
gem update --system --source http://onestepback.org/betagems
This will be the last beta with major changes before the release of 0.9.1.
= Upgrade note
While require_gem was deprecated in 0.9.0, the bin stubs are still using it (oops!). To get rid of the warnings printed by rake or other bin stubs simply run 'gem pristine --all'.
