[ANN] Sinatra 0.9.1 released!

Ryan Tomayko

Sinatra 0.9.1 is a feature release. Highlights include support for
running on Ruby 1.9.1, a shiny new API for extensions/plugins, and
better support for building Rack middleware. This release is backward
compatible with 0.9.0 and 0.3.x.

gem install sinatra

For more information, see:

http://www.sin...

From the CHANGES file:

* Sinatra now runs under Ruby 1.9.1 [#61]

* Route patterns (splats, :named, or Regexp captures) are now passed
as arguments to the block. [#140]

* The "helpers" method now takes a variable number of modules along
with the normal block syntax. [#133]

* New request-level #forward method for middleware components: passes
the env to the downstream app and merges the response status, headers,
and body into the current context. [#126]

* Requests are now automatically forwarded to the downstream app when
running as middleware and no matching route is found or all routes
pass.

* New simple API for extensions/plugins to add DSL-level and
request-level methods. Use Sinatra.register(mixin) to extend the DSL
with all public methods defined in the mixin module; use
Sinatra.helpers(mixin) to make all public methods defined in the mixin
module available at the request level. [#138] See
http://www.sin.../extensions.html for details.

* Named parameters in routes now capture the "." character. This
makes routes like "/:path/:filename" match against requests like
"/foo/bar.txt"; in this case, "params[:filename]" is "bar.txt".
Previously, the route would not match at all.

* Added request-level "redirect back" to redirect to the referring URL.

* Added a new "clean_trace" option that causes backtraces dumped to
rack.errors and displayed on the development error page to omit
framework and core library backtrace lines. The option is enabled by
default. [#77]

* The ERB output buffer is now available to helpers via the @_out_buf
instance variable.

* It's now much easier to test sessions in unit tests by passing a
":session" option to any of the mock request methods. e.g.,
get '/', {}, :session =3D> { 'foo' =3D> 'bar' }

* The testing framework specific files ('sinatra/test/spec',
'sinatra/test/bacon', 'sinatra/test/rspec', etc.) have been
deprecated. See http://sinatrarb.com/te... for instructions on
setting up a testing environment with these frameworks.

* The request-level #send_data method from Sinatra 0.3.3 has been
added for compatibility but is deprecated.

* Fix :provides causing crash on any request when request has no
Accept header [#139]

* Fix that ERB templates were evaluated twice per "erb" call.

* Fix app-level middleware not being run when the Sinatra application
is run as middleware.

* Fixed some issues with running under Rack's CGI handler caused by
writing informational stuff to stdout.

* Fixed that reloading was sometimes enabled when starting from a
rackup file [#110]

* Fixed that "." in route patterns erroneously matched any character
instead of a literal ".". [#124]

All together, a little over 60 tickets were filed away in lighthouse,
making this one of the most active releases to date:

A large amount of energy was spent on documentation. Sinatra's website
was shuffled around a bit and we've begun documenting... everything.
Here's the first fruits of that labor:

http://www.sin.../configuration.html
http://www.sin.../testing.html
http://www.sin.../extensions.html
