As I promised at RailsConf, we’re finally good to go on the Rails 3.1: Release Candidate. This is a fantastically exciting release. We have three new star features and an even greater number of just awesome improvements. First the stars:...

We’ve taken our first release step towards the final version of Rails 3.1 today with the unveiling of beta 1. This is a release mostly for people who’ve already been following along with the development of Rails 3.1 and want to try a...

Aaron Patterson showed us some tenderlove this week by releasing Rails 3.0.5. Have a peek at what got updated. Bugs Fixed Fix when gzip returns a UTF-8 string on Ruby 1.9, when it is actually binary. commit Active Record lim...

How about some free speed? Well, here you go. Rails 3.0.3 includes a much faster version of Active Record that reclaims the performance lost when we went from Rails 2.3.x to 3.x and then some. Aaron Patterson has done a phenomenal job benc......

We’ve released Ruby on Rails 2.3.9 (gem and git tag) to extend the 2.3.8 bridge a few steps closer to Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9. If your app runs on Rails 2.3.9 without deprecation warnings, you’re looking good for an upgrade to Rails...

The 2.3.7 release slipped out the door too hastily. Fixing compatibility with the rails_xss plugin inadvertently forced everyone to use it. Facepalm. I apologize for wasting a chunk of your day on installing what ought to have been a pa...

With the 2.3.6 release hot out of the oven, Nathan Weizenbaum began updating HAML to support it. He uncovered a couple of bugs in the HTML-safety changes backported from Rails 3, so we’re cutting a 2.3.7 release to fix them. If you us...

We’ve released Ruby on Rails 2.3.6: six months of bug fixes, a handful of new features, and a strong bridge to Rails 3. We deprecated some obscure and ancient features in Rails 2.3.6 so we could cut them entirely from Rails 3. If your......
