Hello Everyone,
Insomnia has blessed me with the ability to make another release of
Vellum for all to play with and try using. Features in this release:
* The ability to make your own commands for your build specs in plain
old Python as a Python module.
* The docstring comments on your vellum commands become dynamic
documentation for vellum via: vellum -C.
* Lots of documentation, comments, cleaned up code, and a more complete
test suite.
* Importing other build specs as recipes and importing python modules
are all unified and cleaned up.
* Still only 620 lines of Python code which is damn amazing.
DOCUMENTATION
I wrote a bunch of documentation tonight, and will be doing a more
complete manual soon:
http://zedshaw.com/projects/vellum/
This page is cleaned up and lays out how to use vellum, write a
build.vel file, and write your own commands.
