Ruby 2.0 Release Schedule Announced on 2013!

Today, Yusuke Endoh posted to the ruby-core mailing list noting that matz has admitted him as a Ruby 2.0 "release manager" and as part of his work, he has come up with a tentative schedule for Ruby 2.0's release. You can read the full post here.

The short version of the timeline?

• August 2012: 'Big feature' freeze. Any proposals and specs for 'major features' should be wrapped up for late August 2012 otherwise they will be deferred.
• October 2012: Feature freeze. A more conventional feature freeze.
• February 2013: 2.0 Release. The final version of 2.0 would, hopefully, be released.

A release in February 2013 would have historical significance by being the 20th anniversary of Ruby's creation. Note that Yusuke corrected the date to February 24, 2013 in a later posting.
Another note, confirming what Yugui had already said, is that Ruby 2.0 is to be "100% compatible" with Ruby 1.9.3.

If you want to learn more about Ruby 2.0, I recommend Ruby Inside's last post, Ruby 2.0 Implementation Work Begins: What is Ruby 2.0 and What’s New? where I summarized the anticipated new features in Ruby 2.0.

Thanks to Ruby guru Steve Klabnik for the heads up on this news. Follow him on Twitter, it's worth it.

The iPhone Helpers Plugin for Rails 3.x

Picking the name of a new library or plugin is stressful. You could go too informal and call your library something like authgasm (now authlogic) or too formal and call it "Dull Authentication Plugin for Enterprises 1.0." It's the geek equivalent of calling your kid Butterfly or Jane. Fair enough, but what if you just called your daughter Kid or Girl? That's the approach taken by the author of the snappily named rails-iphone-helpers.

Rails-iphone-helpers is a Rails plugin that provides helper methods to produce iPhone-specific (or iOS, more precisely) HTML.

This library solves a simple problem, but few people have the patience or interest in memorizing the underlying code to set viewpoint sizes, scaling options, iOS icons, or iOS splash image settings. With rails-iphone-helpers, it all becomes structured and simple.. what more could you want from a plugin, really?

WordPress 3.3 Beta 1

WordPress 3.3 is ready for beta testers.

As always, this is software still in development and we don’t recommend that you run it on a production site — set up a test site just to play with the new version. If you break it (find a bug), please report it, and if you’re a developer, try to help us fix it.

If all goes well, we hope to release WordPress 3.3 by the end of November. The more help we get with testing and fixing bugs, the sooner we will be able to release the final version. If you want to be a beta tester, you should check out the Codex article on how to report bugs.

Here’s some of what’s new:

• Media uploader
• Improved admin bar
• Fly out admin menus

Remember, if you find something you think is a bug, report it! You can bring it up in the alpha/beta forum, you can email it to the wp-testers list, or if you’ve confirmed that other people are experiencing the same bug, you can report it on the WordPress Core Trac. (We recommend starting in the forum or on the mailing list.)

Theme and plugin authors, if you haven’t been following the 3.3 development cycle, please start now so that you can update your themes and plugins to be compatible with the newest version of WordPress.

And now, haiku.
Features almost done…

Test it now — have fun!

The Ruby on Rails API Switches to SDoc

The Ruby on Rails API is switching to SDoc starting with 3.1.
SDoc is a RDoc format created by Володя Колесников (@voloko) that has been powering railsapi.com for a long time.
Among other things, SDoc provides a search box with fuzzy match completion, tree browsing, keyboard navigation, and a really nice template.
You can already see the upgrade in the edge API.

We'd like to thank very much Володя for his work updating SDoc for the official API. Thanks man!

Rails 3.1.1 has been released!

Hi everyone,
Rails 3.1.1 has been released. This release requires at least sass-rails 3.1.4

Changes

ActionMailer

• No changes

ActionPack

• stylesheetlinktag('/stylesheets/application') and similar helpers doesn't throw Sprockets::FileOutsidePaths exception anymore [Santiago Pastorino]
• Ensure defaultassethost_protocol is respected, closes #2980. [José Valim]
  Changing rake db:schema:dump to run :environment as well as :load_config, as running :load_config alone will lead to the dumper being run without including extensions such as those included in foreigner and spatial_adapter.
  This reverses a change made here: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/5df72a238e9fcb18daf6ab6e6dc9051c9106d7bb#L0L324

Rails 3.1.0 Released

RubyOnRails has announced the release of Rails 3.1.0

On August 31, 2011, Ruby on Rails announced the release of Rails 3.1.0.

Aaron P in his blog thinks Rails 3.1.0 is the best release of Rails to date, and asks everyone to continue to create amazing things with this framework. He has highlighted the major changes in Rails 3.1.0.

ActionPack

• ActionPack has been updated to include the new asset pipeline. Please see the rails guides on the asset pipeline.
• Streaming response support has been added. This feature allows you to stream templates to the user before processing has actually finished. See the Rails Guides, or documentation in ActionController::Metal::Streaming for more information. Middleware have been refactored to support this feature.
• RJS has been extracted to a gem.

ActiveModel

• attr_accessible and friends now accepts :as as option to specify a role
• Added ActiveModel::SecurePassword to encapsulate dead-simple password usage with BCrypt encryption and salting.

ActiveRecord

• Prepared statement caches have been integrated. ActiveRecord::Base#create and simple finders will use a prepared statement and cache for more performant inserts and selects.
• Associations have been refactored for greater simplicity and maintainability.
• default_scope can take any object that responds to call.
• PostgreSQL adapter only supports PostgreSQL version 8.2 and higher.
• Migrations use instance methods rather than class methods. Rather than defining a self.up method, you should define an instance method up.
• Migrations are reversible. When a new migration is generated, the migration will contain one method called change. Database changes made in this method will automatically know how to reverse themselves. For more information, see the documentation for ActiveRecord::Migration and ActiveRecord::Migration::CommandRecorder.
• When a model is generated, add_index is added by default for belongs_to or references columns.

ActiveResource

• The default format has been changed to JSON for all requests. If you want to continue to use XML you will need to set self.format = :xml in the class.

ActiveSupport

• ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger set log encoding to BINARY, but still use text mode to output portable newlines.
• Add Object#in? to test if an object is included in another object.
• ActiveSupport::Dependencies::ClassCache class has been introduced for holding references to reloadable classes.
• Added weeks_ago and prev_week to Date/DateTime/Time.
• JSON decoding now uses the multi_json gem which also vendors a json engine called OkJson. The yaml backend has been removed in favor of OkJson as a default engine for 1.8.x, while the built in 1.9.x json implementation will be used by default.

Railties

• The default database schema file is written as UTF-8.
• Rack::Sendfile middleware is used only if x_sendfile_header is present.
• Add alias r for rails runner.
• jQuery is the new default JavaScript library.
• Added config.force_ssl configuration which loads Rack::SSL middleware and force all requests to be under HTTPS protocol

For more info
For a more detailed list of changes, please see each of the CHANGELOG files checked in to the Rails repository on github. For an even more detailed list of changes, please see the commit list between Rails 3.0.10 and 3.1.0.
