Rails - Oct 2005 - Rails 1.0: Release Candidate 2

The release of 1.0 is near upon us! It has been a long time in the
making, involved a heroic final sprint at RubyConf by the core team,
and is a testament to how it''s all been coming together over the last
months. Almost three hundred bug fixes, enhancements, and new features
have been introduced since 0.13.1 saw the light of day three months
ago. That''s on average three per day. So it''s not been a while
because
of slacking off.

But with all these changes, we want to allow for an extended
release-candidate phase before we declare 1.0 a reality. So from today
you can get the 1.0 RC 2, which is packaged as version 0.14.1 in the
gems.

Over the next two weeks or so, we''re very interested in hearing about
bugs and we''ll likely push out a few more release candidates as more
and more fixes go in. That said, we can''t fix it all and we surely
can''t process all the pending feature enhancements for 1.0. So
don''t
expect to see an empty Pending Patches or Faults lists. Our main
objective is to stamp out the "heinous" bugs: those that significantly
affect the many or those that dangerously affect the few.

(The main gem server is pretty over-worked, you may want to do gem
install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org
--include-dependencies to offload it a bit)

Amazing, thanks a bunch :)

Are there any documents on the new major features?


Thanks alot,
Rob

I''m sorry for this sad reply.

I found it.

*slaps head*

Maybe there should be a mention in the release notes about the changes in
the scriptaculous? If you don''t change the javascript files you include
things will break. Also, the behavior of scriptaculous in the release
candidate is decidedly different in some areas. Most of my applications that
use the effects completely break in IE, and in firefox there is a lot of new
flicker where there wasn''t any before. Could very well be on my end,
but the
behavior is different nonetheless.

Looking forward to all the rest of the goodies though, thanks!
Chris
