Rails 2.1 Is Now Available

Posted by kdawson on from the blood-on-the-tracks dept.

slick50 writes "Rails 2.1 is now available for general consumption with all the features and fixes we've been putting in over the last six months since 2.0. We've had 1,400 contributors creating patches and vetting them. This has resulted in 1,600+ patches. And lots of that has made it into this release. The new major features are: time zones (by Geoff Buesing), dirty tracking, Gem dependencies, named scope (by Nick Kallen), UTC-based migrations, and better caching. As always, you can install with: gem install rails Or you can use the Git tag for 2.1.0."

    A little less bias would help, too. I mean, "unmatched"? Unmatched in what areas? Unmatched as in: thus far regular expressions failed to find Zope?
