Ok despite this crazy flu which got me last week i was able to get some coding done. Here goes: == Hieraki Hieraki got plenty of improvements next to the rails 0.10 update. The biggest new features are proper yaml, html and readme export. But there are also plenty of new code improvements like the switch to my favorite postback style for all controllers. Hieraki traditionally serves as a demo app for many newcomers to rails so its code health is very important. I also upped the testcase coverage to fairly good 1:0.8 == Typo Typo got some the 0.10 treatment and a few interesting updates. There is a new del.icio.us aggregation helper and the search function now uses ajax to update results in real time. == Login generator Login generator got some neat updates as well. First of all thanks to Jeremy Kemper''s phenomenal new generator framework the login generator is now a gem. This means no copying around of the generator into each and every of your projects anymore. Also the new generators now ask before overwriting things which really helps when one chooses to enforce as generic names as ''user.rb'' (lala). I updated the readme a bit and fixed a bug or two. == Postback generator (new) This is a modified scaffold editor which uses my favored postback style ( if @request.post? and @model.save ... ). Additionally it improves upon scaffolding in several ways like extracting the actual form into an partial shared by new and edit. It also provides ample hooks for css cumizations. All those things can be had from http://dist.leetsoft.com. Hieraki is still not released as a package and can be had using svn.

Thank you for all this great code. I am sure learning lots of things from it. Sascha PS: Gute Bessererung

Something similar could probably be done for the login & signup templates in the login generator, the only real difference there is that the signup template includes a second password field. -- One Guy With A Camera http://rbpark.ath.cx

I know i use Hieraki as a great learning resource, and i''m sure others do too. It''s very much appreciated! And good news about both the login generator gem and the postback generator. - tim lucas
