[ANN] Rails 1.0: Party like it''s one oh oh!
15 months after the first public release, Rails has arrived at the big 1.0. What a journey! We''ve gone through thousands of revisions, tickets, and patches from hundreds of contributors to get here. I''m incredibly proud at the core committer team, the community, and the ecosystem we''ve raised around this framework. Rails 1.0 is mostly about making all the work we''ve been doing solid. So it''s not packed with new features over 0.14.x, but has spit, polish, and long nights applied to iron out kinks and ensure that it works mostly right, most of the time, for most of the people. Yes, we still have pending tickets, but we will always have pending tickets. If I had accepted that fact back in February, we would probably have been at 2.0 now ;). Alongside 1.0, we''ve also been working on a new web site, which premieres today as well. It''s a 37signals-powered redesign that streamlines and decrufts us into a much cleaner profile that hopefully will make it even easier for people to get excited and try out Ruby on Rails. It''s online at www.rubyonrails.org and includes two brand new screencasts. So this is a major milestone for Rails, but we''ve not even begun to think about slowing down. Rails 1.1 is already pretty far along in development and will see some of the biggest upgrades of any Rails release. Hopefully some time in February. But in the mean time, enjoy one oh! To install Rails 1.0: gem install rails --include-dependencies To learn about upgrading a Rails application not already running 0.14.x: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/19 The only thing you need to do to upgrade from 0.14.x is update your Javascripts using "rake update_javascripts". You''ll be rocking along with Scriptaculous 1.5 and Prototype 1.4.

Awesome job David and company. Minor nitpick on the new web site. The quote from Martin Fowler says: "It is impossible not to notice Ruby on Rails. It has had a huge effect both in and outside the Ruby community... Rails has become a standard to which even well-established tools are comparing themselves to." Just get rid of the trailing "to" since it is redundant. It''s already covered by "to which". You can drop the last word of his quote without misquoting him, and it will sound a whole lot better.
