0.11, released 2009-07-01

• thor help now show information about any class/task. All those calls are possible:

  thor help describe
  thor help describe:amazing

  Or even with default namespaces:

  thor help :spec

• Added ‘group’ notion to Thor task sets (class Thor); by default all tasks are in the ‘standard’ group. Running ‘thor -T’ will only show the standard tasks - adding –all will show all tasks. You can also filter on a specific group using the –group option: thor -T –group advanced

• Make sure local Thorfiles override system-wide ones.
