Rails - Mar 2005 - Recipe Browser 0.4.1

I am please to announce the release of Recipe Browser 0.4.1.  This
project (and files) can be located at
http://rubyforge.org/projects/recipe/.

This release brings Recipe Browser up to Rails 0.10, with a handful of
bug fixes.  Special thanks to E Gard (x2egard) the newest member to
the project who also happened to do all the work for this release ;).

We would love to hear any questions, comments, or general feedback on
the application.

Features
-------------
- Robust search capabilites.  You can search for a recipe based on
which ingredients it does or does not have, which categories it does
or does not belong to, rating, spiciness, and source.
- Dynamic and multiple categories. Each recipe can belong to any
number of categories.  Categories defined by user on the fly, so you
are not limited to preset categories.
- Ability to attach plaintext, gif, or jpg files to a recipe.

Future Plans
------------------
- Optional password protected access
- Index card style printing
- Email recipe to a friend
- Friendly installation/upgrade scripts
- Rework look/feel

I hate to do this so close to the last release ... but I found some
fairly critical bugs (at least for this type of app).  For anyone
working under the 0.4+ release, you can patch this by unpacking this
most recent release onto your working directory, just remember to
re-edit your databases.yml under config/.  Sorry for the hassel! (The
version I was "testing" on last release wasn''t the same one
that got
package for 0.4.1).

Anyway,  I''m releasing 0.4.2 (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=282).
 The "critical" bugs that were fixed.

The ability to select a source when adding a new recipe was broken
Attachment viewing was broken, at least under Apache/fastcgi

Full changelog:

Bugs:
Fixed bug which prevented selection of source
Fixed bug in ingredient listing which resulted in bad rendering when
ingredient names were long
Fixed format issue in edit recipe (app/view/recipe/edit.rhtml)
Fixed bug which prevented attachment viewing (it was an issue under
apache/fastcgi, I know for sure)

"Features" (minor)
Browse by category, browse all recipes now sorted
(app/controllers/recipe_controller.rb)
Added CSS style access keys (browse: alt-b, search: alt-s, add: alt-a,
ingredients: alt-i, sources: alt-c, update: alt-u (all views)
Added ability to hide/show browse all recipes and categories
(app/view/recipe/list.rhtml)
Added ability to sort sources list by last name, first name, or title
Added clickthrough from source details to search on that given source
Modified sources interface, added click through to search by current
source (app/views/source/edit.rhtml, show.rhtml, list.rhtml)
Added click through on view recipe to find other recipes by same
source (app/views/recipe/show.rhtml)
Update hover text on nav links (browse)
Optimize ingredient listing, which reduced page load sizes, thus
speeding up the app.

So Recipe Browser 0.4.2 has issues under Rails 0.10.1 (at least under
Apache2.0/fast_cgi, untested under other environments).

The fix is to use the .htaccess generated by 0.10.1 instead of .10.

Below is the .htaccess generated by 0.10.1 (note the fast_cgi change
in dispatch.fcgi):
>>
# General Apache options
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

# Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.fcgi?$1 [QSA,L]

# In case Rails experiences terminal errors
ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
