Ramaze 2009.02 has just been released. There are just a few changes since 2009.01:

• Redirection within https fixed.
• flash.delete now fully deletes from flash.
• Subclass controllers now properly inherit the template engine of the parent controller class.
• Ruby 1.9 compatibility improved.

manveru has always been conscientious about Ruby 1.9 compatibility in Ramaze (indeed, in all his projects), so Ramaze had already been considered 1.9-compatible for some time. With the recent release of Ruby 1.9.1, though, a fresh problem crawled out of the woodwork. This release addresses the issue; see the mailing list thread for details.

As some of you can probably appreciate, 1.9 compatibility is a non-trivial assignment. If you encounter any sort of problems using Ruby 1.9.1+, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Contributions to this release came from the following people (listed alphabetically):

• Andreas Karlsson (jeltz)
• Michael Fellinger (manveru)
• (Pistos)
• Riku Raisaenen (rikur)
• Sean Lai

Install or update Ramaze with

gem install ramaze

As usual, we’d love to hear from long-time users and newbies alike. Stop by and say hello in our IRC channel (#ramaze on Freenode), or ask questions on our mailing list.

And don’t forget that the next generation of Ramaze, with an “Innate” core, is on the horizon, with several features and improvements. In the mean time, enjoy this release!
