What's KineticJS
Greetings fellow webonauts! KineticJS is an HTML5 Canvas JavaScript library that extends the 2d context by enabling canvas interactivity for desktop and mobile applications.
You can draw your own shapes or images using the existing canvas API, add event listeners to them, move them, scale them, and rotate them independently from other shapes to support high performance animations, even if your application uses thousands of shapes. Served hot with a side of awesomeness.

Building the library
To build the library, you need to have Ruby and Rubygems installed. After that, install the dependencies by running bundle install.
To build a development version of the library, run thor build:dev VERSION, where VERSION is in the format MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. To build a minify version of the library, run thor build:prod VERSION. If you want to add a release date other than the current day, use -d="DATE" (e.g. -d="Mar 07 2012).
Adding a new file in the src directory
If you add a file in the src directory, add into the array in the Thorfile.
