[ANN] Rails 1.0: Party like it's one oh oh!

David Heinemeier Hansson

12/13/2005 9:06:00 PM

15 months after the first public release, Rails has arrived at the big
1.0. What a journey! We've gone through thousands of revisions,
tickets, and patches from hundreds of contributors to get here. I'm
incredibly proud at the core committer team, the community, and the
ecosystem we've raised around this framework.

Rails 1.0 is mostly about making all the work we've been doing solid.
So it's not packed with new features over 0.14.x, but has spit,
polish, and long nights applied to iron out kinks and ensure that it
works mostly right, most of the time, for most of the people. Yes, we
still have pending tickets, but we will always have pending tickets.
If I had accepted that fact back in February, we would probably have
been at 2.0 now ;).

Alongside 1.0, we've also been working on a new web site, which
premieres today as well. It's a 37signals-powered redesign that
streamlines and decrufts us into a much cleaner profile that hopefully
will make it even easier for people to get excited and try out Ruby on
Rails. It's online at www.rubyonrails.org and includes two brand new
screencasts.

So this is a major milestone for Rails, but we've not even begun to
think about slowing down. Rails 1.1 is already pretty far along in
development and will see some of the biggest upgrades of any Rails
release. Hopefully some time in February. But in the mean time, enjoy
one oh!

To install Rails 1.0:

gem install rails --include-dependencies

To learn about upgrading a Rails application not already running 0.14.x:

http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/re...

The only thing you need to do to upgrade from 0.14.x is update your
Javascripts using "rake update_javascripts". You'll be rocking along
with Scriptaculous 1.5 and Prototype 1.4.

Happy 1.0, everyone!

Congrats a couple minor things:
- the "current versions" on http://download.rubyon... should be updated
- if you only need to update javascripts to upgrade from 0.14.x, why
did gem update pull in all new versions of everything (I was at
0.14.3, I believe).
