Rumors of our inability to release ever again was surely false. It has happened. A new Rails release for the first time in so long that I had to view the source of my release.rb script again to remember its parameters.
But boy was it worth the wait. We got so much new stuff in here it's not even funny. And the massive influx of new users over the past few months has meant a flood of fixes for every edge case on the planet. We're reaching rapid Maturity on the Scalability with Enterprise goodness scale. Really.
So the big words for this release is Ajax, Migrations, Ajax, Performance, Ajax, Named Routes, and oh, yeah, we got some sweet Ajax in there, too.
It's all backwards compatible too. Upgrading will undoubtful force you to increase the sex-appeal of both your application and your code. Be warned!We got a slightly longer detail on the whole affair up at the Rails weblog.
This of course also means that we're expecting. Yup, that little new one-oh is now slated for laser sharp attention. Just in time for the Rails show they call OSCON. (Yes, delusions of grandeur has been tuned by 37% with this release.)
