When The Great Destroyer – aka Rails 1.1 – was released, many developers were baffled when their favorite plugins no longer functioned. Found in the wreckage were Globalize and Rails Engines. Applications were forced to remain on older revisions of Rails, and developer happiness was stifled.

No more.

Practitioners of internationalization, rejoice! Like the mighty Phoenix, Globalize has been… err… branched. If you would like to test the new branch which supports Rails 1.1 and onwards (and breaks compatibility with Rails 1.0), then run this command in your plugins directory:

svn export http://svn.globalize-rails.org/svn/globalize/globalize/branches/for-1.1 globalize

and give it a go. With adequate testing, this branch will be merged into trunk and will put us on track for a proper Globalize 1.0 release candidate. As always, please submit tickets to our Trac, located at http://www.globalize-rails.org/trac/.

And for those of you who are interested, yes I am using this branch myself at PLANET ARGON.

Acknowledgements go to Joshua Harvey for his excellent work on the branch.
