Rails 0.10.0

The new version of Ruby on Rails was release 24 hours back. I have always been on edge rails, from the very beginning so this only did not mean much to me. But since most people are on stable rails. These are the things that you can expect form this release.

Routes

Routes also helps you have really cool URLs. Its far more easy to create custom URLs now with routes in action. Routes also solves the .htaccess issue. Routes was known as Directions earlier.

Components

Now with the introduction of components you can display the output from other controllers and actions. This makes it easier for you to package your reuseable code from one application to another.

Web Services

This is my personal favorite after routes. Now creating a webservice is as easy as apple pie :). Not only does Ruby on Rails have a client api but also a server api. You in a matter of minutes you can deploy a webservice.

Database Drivers

Now Ruby on Rails has a grand total of 6 database adapters. MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

Documentation and Videos

More Videos!!! The Java people can make as many videos they want but none of them will ever be as cool as ours >:). Form the beginning we believed that videos speak louder than words :D. Everyone remembers the 10 minute scaffold video.
