Rails 1.0: Release Candidate 2

[David Heinemeier Hansson]

The release of 1.0 is near upon us! It has been a long time in the
making, involved a heroic final sprint at RubyConf by the core team,
and is a testament to how it's all been coming together over the last
months. Almost three hundred bug fixes, enhancements, and new features
have been introduced since 0.13.1 saw the light of day three months
ago. That's on average three per day. So it's not been a while because
of slacking off.

But with all these changes, we want to allow for an extended
release-candidate phase before we declare 1.0 a reality. So from today
you can get the 1.0 RC 2, which is packaged as version 0.14.1 in the
gems.

Over the next two weeks or so, we're very interested in hearing about
bugs and we'll likely push out a few more release candidates as more
and more fixes go in. That said, we can't fix it all and we surely
can't process all the pending feature enhancements for 1.0. So don't
expect to see an empty Pending Patches or Faults lists. Our main
objective is to stamp out the "heinous" bugs: those that significantly
affect the many or those that dangerously affect the few.

Is it possible to download the .gem files from somewhere?

You can always get them from http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/.=20
Downloading them directly and installing them all at once should work
fine.

I didn't see the RCs there. A mirroring delay or perhaps they just haven't
yet been uploaded?

Rails 0.14.1 is RC2. However, it looks like somehow only the rails
gem got uploaded. I'll see if I can grab David next time he's online
to upload those.

For future reference, here are the specific version numbers
associated with RC2:

rails 0.14.1
activesupport 1.2.1
activerecord 1.12.1
actionpack 1.10.1
actionmailer 1.1.1
actionwebservice 0.9.1

You can always grab the gems off of the RoR gem server, though:

gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org --include-
dependencies

Sorry about that, chaps. It's all good now.

Yah, it's a consequence of gems only knowing about a single
repository at a time. You need to install/upgrade rake first, using
the primary gem server, and then you can use the rails gem server for
the rest.

Sorry about that,

looks like some rails package requires 0.6.2 - but that's not in the list?

probably they did not use '~>' ?? i'm a gems newbie though...

i just installed the latest rubygems about 1hr ago btw...

thoughts?

ah. seems a simple fix:

- accept multiple --source arguments

- loop over them

Sorry about that,

works now:

Righto, but I was looking to download the .gem file and not actually do any
installation. I don't think this is possible via the "gem" command, is it?

Anyway, moot point now as it's all fixed. And 1.0RC2 is now available to
Gentoo users everywhere.
