Hello everyone,

One of the first things Pedro and I have been working on here at  
Heroku is getting the API to work better with Windows, and provide  
the same seamless experience you're used to from Unix/Linux/OS X. As  
a result we have a new & improved client gem available for you with  
the following tweaks:

== The client now correctly detects the location of the user's home  
directory
on Windows. This will typically be along the lines of "C:\Documents and
Settings\username".

== If your ssh key is in a location other than HOME\.ssh, you can now  
specify
the key path using the optional -k/--key switch. For example: "heroku
upload_authkey -k C:\mykeys\id_rsa.pub". This also works on Unix/ 
Linux/OS X,
of course.

== When entering your Heroku password on Windows, the entry is now  
masked.

If you've been waiting to get started with the Heroku client on  
Windows, the
process is now as simple as:

1. Follow of one of the many tutorials on how to get Git running on  
Windows.
There's an excellent one here, which also shows you how to create an  
SSH key
with the Cygwin tools included with Git for Windows:
http://github.com/guides/newbies-guide-for-git-on-windows. Steps 1-3  
are all
you need to care about.

2. "gem install heroku" (should say version 0.3).

3. Fire up the Windows Command Prompt or the included Bash-git and  
type in a
command such as "heroku list".

Let us know how the new gem works for you, especially if you're on  
Windows.  Post here or email me privately.
