Rails 1.2.4 and 2.0 on the way
The preview release of Rails 2.0 has been announced by DHH and says the 2.0 final release is on the way.
“Behold, behold, Rails 2.0 is almost here. But before we can slap on the final stamp, we’re going to pass through a couple of trial release phases. The first is this preview release, which allows you to sample the goodies in their almost finished state.”
The announcement goes into quite some detail about the features to be included in this new release, head over to the Riding Rails blog post for the full run down. Keep in mind this is a preview release and is part of edge rails so not suitable for production use, unless you like to live on the edge.
While you are waiting for 2.0 final you might want to look at this little ruby program that checks if your 1.x rails application is 2.0 compatible.
Last, but not least, Rails 1.2.4 is set for release in the near future, this is a bug fix release and will also include more depreciation warnings to make the transition to Rails 2.0 easier.
