Selenium 0.7 RubyGem Update

As I mentioned in my talk at RailsConf, I needed to update the Selenium RubyGem to get it up-to-date. The gem is now available: gem install selenium. This will give you the latest release (0.7) of Selenium Core. In previous Selenium gems there were a few crufty Ruby files in there, but these have now been extracted to Selenium Remote Control.

This update is mostly for Jonas and Bret.

Adding a month to a Ruby Date object

It must be the Perl Hacker in me that enjoys this sort of syntax...

    @event.date >>= 1

Any idea what that does? Well, Date has a method called >> which returns the Date plus the specified months. But I wanted to reassign the Date immediately, so I tried >>= and it worked. If anyone has a cleaner way of doing this, email me.
