## Release History
* 2013-02-27v0.3.1Fix for top level options.
* 2013-02-26v0.3.0nospawn option added to run tasks without spawning as child processes. Watch emits 'watch' events upon files being triggered with grunt.event. Completion time in seconds and date/time shown after tasks ran. Negate file patterns fixed. Tasks debounced individually to handle simultaneous triggering for multiple targets. Errors handled better and viewable with --stack cli option. Code complexity reduced making the watch task code easier to read.
* 2013-02-14v0.2.0First official release for Grunt 0.4.0.
* 2013-01-17v0.2.0rc7Updating grunt/gruntplugin dependencies to rc6. Changing in-development grunt/gruntplugin dependency versions from tilde version ranges to specific versions.
* 2013-01-08v0.2.0rc5Updating to work with grunt v0.4.0rc5.
* 2012-12-14v0.2.0aConversion to grunt v0.4 conventions. Remove node v0.6 and grunt v0.3 support. Allow watch task to be renamed. Use grunt.util.spawn "grunt" option. Updated to gaze@0.3.0, forceWatchMethod option removed.
* 2012-10-31v0.1.4Prevent watch from spawning duplicate watch tasks
* 2012-10-27v0.1.3Better method to spawn the grunt bin Bump gaze to v0.2.0. Better handles some events and new option forceWatchMethod Only support Node.js >= v0.8
* 2012-10-16v0.1.2Only spawn a process per task one at a time Add interrupt option to cancel previous spawned process Grunt v0.3 compatibility changes
* 2012-10-15v0.1.1Fallback to global grunt bin if local doesnt exist. Fatal if bin cannot be found Update to gaze 0.1.6
