A couple of weeks ago, we decided to get serious about Rails 1.1 and engaged in the final release sprint. One would think this would lead to the final commas being placed, the font size being adjusted, and proper kerning of the headline being ensured. Not so. The document that is Rails always evolves the most around closing and this release has been no different.
I'll try to go into detail in forthcoming posts on a few of the more exciting additions that has surfaced in recent time. But let me just shine light on similar exposures elsewhere. Jamis Buck has written an excellent guide to the new integration testing framework and Scott Raymond has been trawling the changelogs with light commentary and examples.
Now, just to setup a few expectations for myself going forward, these are the themes that has influenced my thinking on Rails of late:
HTTP is a Wonderful Acquired Taste
Flash Beyond the Movies and into the Infrastructure
