Rails - Mar 2005 - Rails 0.10.1: FCGI stability, WS generator, tons of fixes

This is the point release to tie up the various loose ends introduced 
with Rails 0.10.0. Action Web Service has seen the most interesting 
improvements feature-wise with a new generator and tie-ins with the 
testing setup. There''s better support for XML-RPC: Instead of 
performing type checking on the parameters the remote client sends, AWS 
does casting to try and make it compatible with the signature instead, 
but if it fails, passes the parameter through anyway. And cleaner 
support for "prefix.methodName" XML-RPC methods with a new dispatching
mode named :layered (this is an incompatible change for XML-RPC 
services that use namespaced XML method names: metaWeblog/blogger 
implementations will require changes).

As Basecamp moved to lighttpd/FCGI this past week, we also got a bunch 
of good fixes in that increases the stability of FCGI in a production 
environment quite a lot. No more FCGI dying and in case uncaught 
exceptions are raised, you''ll know about it in log/fastcgi.crash.log.

In total, we managed to squeeze in no less than 52 additions, changes, 
fixes, and tweaks. See all the changes in the changelogs for:
