Rails 1.2 gives REST, alleviates UTF-8 pains David Jan 20

11 comments Latest by Jamie Stephens

Ruby on Rails has gone one dot two with a slew of pleasure-inducing features. There’s a new love affair with HTTP and its RESTful style of architecture. And patching up of things with UTF-8. Including a promise not to break it’s multibyte characters again.

On top of those headliners, there’s some eight months worth of polish, glitter, and glitz. Making this one shiny release. If you’re into doing Rails, you should most definitely check this one out.

Oh, and while you’re at it, go have a look at the new Prototype site. It premiered along Prototype 1.5, which is included in Rails 1.2.

Congrats on the release, DHH ! or in Danish: Tillykke med… øh… “the release”, DHH ! And congrats to the contributors also!

Now, if I could only afford a proper web hosting solution that support Rails… I guess I’ll have to continue playing with it on my computer… sigh

You want “its.”

huh 20 Jan 07

you guys talk about hiring good writers so much but you often write in sentence fragments. why?

@huh 21 Jan 07

Says the guy who writes in all lowercase.

Huh (proper capitalization for her pleasure) 21 Jan 07

Improper sentence structure and neglecting to capitalize the beginning of sentences are two very different things. I can type however I want because I’m just making a quick comment and I don’t represent anyone. In their for-profit products advocate certain practices but do not practice what they preach. That is the point.
