I feel your pain. We haven''t done any new releases since Rails 2.0 came out, but at this point I don''t know that anything is incompatible with the old release. A couple people mentioned that they were wanting to use Rails 2 with MasterView and I basically said if you run into any incompatibilities, let me know and I can usually turn around a fix pretty quick. I haven''t had a chance to check with Rails 2 myself yet, but it is on my todo list. There is one setting that makes MasterView very compatible with Rails and other plugins, config.generate_rhtml_files = true which causes the rhtml files to be written to the hard drive. This allows Rails to function like it always does and requires no magic from MasterView once the files exist. In fact you can even deploy to production without MasterView plugin at all once you have the rhtml files. If you set that to true, another thing you might want to do if having both the .html and .rhtml in same directory is a problem, is to change the location of the masterview templates to maybe app/masterview using config.template_src_dir_path = "app/masterview" This just keeps things separately and less confusing. So give it a whirl and if you have any problems, please send me an email about the issue and I''ll resolve it. Otherwise, I am planning to check Rails 2 compatibility soon, maybe by this weekend. I also have a bunch of other ideas for the next major version (so the project is alive and well) that I am thinking through currently. Have a blessed day!
