Thu Oct  2 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi < S Nishizawa
	* lib/netcdf.rb: enhanced NetCDF#[] to support array indices.
Tue Sep 23 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi
	* extconf.rb: debug for windows (by T Koshiro)
	* lib/netcdf_miss.rb: debug get_with_miss_*
Wed Aug 27 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi
	* ruby-netcdf-0.5.2 released
	* Verified that all test programs work fine with Ruby 1.8.0.
	* netcdfraw.c: functions NetCDF_dim, NetCDF_var (methods
	  NetCDF#dim, NetCDF#var). Changed behavior back to return nil
	  if not found (by name), as opposed to the change on Feb 3 2003.
	  Debug NetCDF_att_rename (NetCDFAtt#name=).
	  Init_netcdfraw: No longer asks whether NumRu has been
	  defined -- ok for Ruby 1.6.5 or so or later
	* doc/Ref_man.rd,doc/Ref_man_jp.rd: updated for the changes above
	* test/test.rb updated for the debug of NetCDFAtt#name=.
	* lib/netcdf.rb: editted NetCDF#vars and NetCDF#dims not to change
	  the behavior despite the change above. Corrected exception types
	  to raise where needed.
Tue Aug 19 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi
	* demo/demo4-copy.rb: created
Tue Aug 12 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi
	* ruby-netcdf-0.5.1 released
	* extconf.rb: do not edit "install:" anymore (for Ruby 1.8; works
	  with 1.6 too.) / Debug
	* doc/Ref_man.rd,doc/Ref_man_jp.rd: corrected a few typos.

Tue Aug 12 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi
	* ruby-netcdf-0.5.0 released
	* lib/netcdf_miss.rb: created. handles data missing by NArrayMiss.
	* doc/Ref_man.rd,doc/Ref_man_jp.rd: updated.

Mon Aug 11 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi
	* extconf.rb: modification to cover Cygwin
	* netcdfraw.c: extern -> EXTERN
	* lib/netcdf.rb: renamed get|put as simple_(get|put) and
	  made get|put aliased to them. Changed scaled_(get|put)
 	  to depend on simple_(put|get). This is to allow the user
	  to redefine get|put, if he/she likes, as:
	     alias get scaled_get
	     alias put scaled_put
	  Or (by using singleton methods)
	     def a_ncvar.get(*arg)
	       scaled_get(*arg)
	     end
	     def a_ncvar.put(*arg)
	       scaled_put(*arg)
	     end
	  Now these do not cause recurrence. By doing so, one can 
	  also change the behavior of [] and []=.

Sat Mar 22 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi

Fri Mar 21 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi
	* ruby-netcdf-0.3.9 released
Wed Mar 19 2003  Takeshi Horinouchi
	* netcdfraw.c: changed return values of NetCDF#redef and NetCDF#enddef
	  (NetCDF_redef, NetCDF_enddef) --- return true if succesful and
	  nil if not (the latter means that the file is already in
	  define mode for redef and that it is already in the data mode
	  for enddef). Previously, these methods always retuned nil.

	  functionality enhanced to accept scalar values to set uniform values
