Rails 1.1.1 and script.aculo.us 1.6.1 released

Posted by Jonathan

Rails 1.1.1 was just released!

I was waiting with upgrading the FreeBSD port as Rails 1.1 had some issues and 1.1.1 was in the planning. I hopefully have the port updated be the end of the weekend. The upgrade to Rake 0.7 is already submitted.

Further script.aculo.us 1.6.1 was also released some minutes ago. It includes Protoype 1.5.0_rc0 and fixed some ugly IE bugs.

Have fun with all the upgrades.

    Thanks for the port upgrades :) Out of curiousity, is there any advantage to using the port over gem upgrade?

    Yes 1) You only have to "learn" one software management tool, the FreeBSD ports. One way to update installed software and you do not have to remember how to configure it. 2) You get real depencies on other ports like the native MySQL bindings E.g. the Rails port asks you if you want to depend on native MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite bindings, fastcgi and memcache-client. This is obviously targeted at user and not developers. If you want to install a new cluster node for your production site you can just do a # cd /usr/ports/www/rubygem-rails # make install clean Checkout the source and you're done
