Rails 1.1, it's official...

I'm sure you've all seen this by now but for the sake of completness and I-still-plan-on-keeping-this-blog-updated-ness, the real live Rails 1.1 is out and in full effect! Jump on it.

Rails 1.1 oddities

Did upgrading to Rails 1.1 give you some problems? If so, try remvoing you ..app\vendor\rails\ folder and re-try running

rake freeze_edge

to hop back on edge rails. Also, make sure you have rake .7 installed by running a

gem install rake

and if you get weird Rake namespace errors, you may have clashing installs of rake whic would need to be dealt with. These are the gotchas I came across so I hope they help.

Rails 1.1 Release Canidate 1

Oh schanp, the next Rails release is upon us and it's a doozy, containing over 500 goodies (some more notable than others). Feel free to hop all over it but be aware that you may run into some snags with your existing plugins if they're not 1.1 compatible...yet. Check with the plugin author or web site to be safe.

The white screen of death

Looks like the technoweenie himself patch'd up that annoying white screen of death you would occasionally get when your app is jacked. Edge rails... hop on it.

From the patch (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4073)

[PATCH] WSOD must die. seriously.

Amen brother, amen.

(more updates coming soon, i've been busy finishing up some Flash work for a local client. Hoping to score a laptop with these proceeds!)
