Rails 3.2.3.rc2 has been released!

Rails 3.2.3 introduced a new option that allows you to control the behavior of remote forms when it comes to authenticity_token generation. If you want to fragment cache your forms, authenticity token will also get cached, which isn't acceptable. However, if you only use such forms with ajax, you can disable token generation, because it will be fetched from meta tag. Starting with 3.2.3, you have an option to stop generating authenticity_token in remote forms (ie. :remote => true is passed as an option), by setting config.action_view.embed_authenticity_token_in_remote_forms = false. Please note that this will break sending those forms with javascript disabled. If you choose to not generate the token in remote forms by default, you can still explicitly pass :authenticity_token => true when generating the form to bypass this setting.

The option defaults to true, which means that existing apps are NOT affected.

This RC includes this authenticity_token change and 2 bug fixes described below. If there are no more release blockers, I will be releasing the final version on March 30th (tomorrow). If you find something please open an issue on github and let me know through email (santiago at wyeworks.com), tweet (spastorino) or cc me on the github issue.

WordPress Takes SXSW 2012!

The South by Southwest Interactive Festival (SXSW) holds a special place in the history and heart of WordPress. Though the conference has changed in the years since I first met Matt in the hallway in 2003 — before WordPress even had a name — it’s still arguably one of the most influential events in our industry, and we’ll be there again this year. Will we see you there?

Booth

There will be a WordPress booth at the SXSW trade show March 12-15. Our booth was packed to overflowing last year as we helped people with their blogs and gave away WordPress swag, so this year we’ll have more space to meet as many of you as possible. Stop by if you need a helping hand with your site, or just to say hi. We’ll also have buttons, stickers, and t-shirts again this year.

Party

This year’s WordPress party will be hosted by the WordPress Foundation on Monday, March 12 from 6-9pm. Space is limited, so make sure you RSVP (no SXSW badge is required). The party this year will be at the Buzzmedia Pure Volume House, and the story of how we hooked up with them is pretty cool.

An Online 48 Hour Game Coding Competition

Ludum Dare is an online accelerated game development event that focuses on regular 48 hour competitions. Think Rails Rumble but for games! It's been around since 2002 but has had a big publicity boost recently due to the participation of Notch, the creator of the mind-bogglingly popular indie game Minecraft.

The competition tends to be dominated by Java, Flash, Microsoft XNA developers, and HTML5 developers, so it'd be great to see more Ruby entries (of which there have only been a couple so far).

During August's event, I, along with hundreds of others, was glued to Notch's livestream watching him code his game, Prelude of the Chambered (a 6 minute version is on YouTube). I was inspired enough to port his Java code into Ruby using JRuby, producing
potc-jruby (sadly far slower than the original Java version). This time, I plan to enter for real and build my own original game.

What is docrails?

docrails is a branch of Ruby on Rails with public write access where anyone can push doc fixes.
If you see a typo, you'd like to correct a factual error, complement some existing documentation, add a useful example... before docrails existed you had to open a pull request (or the equivalent in those days) and follow the ordinary workflow to get it accepted. docrails allows you to clone the repo, edit, and push. Done!

What is allowed in docrails?

You can freely push changes to any RDoc, guides, and READMEs.
No code can be touched at all. That's a hard rule. No matter how insignificant, not even a one character typo in a string literal.
CHANGELOGs cannot be edited either.
