• Allow metal to live in plugins 2045 [Matthew Rudy]
• Added metal [Josh Peek]
• Remove script/performance/request in favour of the performance integration tests. [Pratik Naik]

  To continue using script/performance/request, install the request_profiler plugin :

    script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/request_profiler.git
  

• Add a rake task to apply a template to an existing application : rake rails:template LOCATION=~/template.rb [Pratik Naik]
• Add "-m/—template" option to Rails generator to apply a template to the generated application. [Jeremy McAnally]

    This has been extracted from rg - http://github.com/jeremymcanally/rg
  
    Example:
  
        # template.rb
  
        # Install plugins from git or svn
        plugin "will-paginate", :git => "git://github.com/mislav/will_paginate.git"
        plugin "old-restful-auth", :svn => "http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/restful_authentication/"
  
        # Add gems to environment.rb
        gem "jeremymcanally-context"
        gem "bluecloth"
  
        # Vendor file. Data in a string or...
        vendor("borrowed.rb", <<CODE
          def helpful_method
            do_something_helpful_here
          end
        CODE
  
        # ...file data from block return value.
        # #initializer creates a new initializer file
        initializer("crypto.rb") do
          salt = "--#{Time.now}--#{rand}--#{srand(Time.now.to_i)}"
  
          "SPECIAL_SALT = '#{salt}'"
        end
  
    Usage:
  
      To use a template, provide a file path or URL:
  
      1. Using a local file :
  
        rails <application name> -m /path/to/my/template.rb
  
      2. Or directly from a URL :
  
        rails <application name> --template=http://gist.github.com/31208.txt
  

• Extracted the process scripts (inspector, reaper, spawner) into the plugin irs_process_scripts [David Heinemeier Hansson]

• Added view path support for engines [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added that config/routes.rb files in engine plugins are automatically loaded (and reloaded when they change in dev mode) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added app/[models|controllers|helpers] to the load path for plugins that has an app directory (go engines ;)) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Add config.preload_frameworks to load all frameworks at startup. Default to false so Rails autoloads itself as it‘s used. Turn this on for Passenger and JRuby. Also turned on by config.threadsafe! [Jeremy Kemper]
• Add a rake task to generate dispatchers : rake rails:generate_dispatchers [Pratik Naik]
• "rails <app>" will not generate public/dispatch.cgi/fcgi/rb files by default now. Please use "—with-dispatchers" option if you need them. [Yaroslav Markin, Pratik Naik]
• Added rake rails:update:application_controller to renamed application.rb to application_controller.rb — included in rake rails:update so upgrading to 2.3 will automatically trigger it 1439 [kastner]
• Added Rails.backtrace_cleaner as an accessor for the Rails::BacktraceCleaner instance used by the framework to cut down on backtrace noise and config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb to add your own (or turn them all off) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Switch from Test::Unit::TestCase to ActiveSupport::TestCase. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Added config.i18n settings gatherer to config/environment, auto-loading of all locales in config/locales/*.rb,yml, and config/locales/en.yml as a sample locale [David Heinemeier Hansson]

• Flesh out rake gems:unpack to unpack all gems, and add rake gems:build for native extensions. 11513 [ddollar]

  rake gems:unpack # unpacks all gems rake gems:unpack GEM=mygem # unpacks only the gem ‘mygem‘

  rake gems:build # builds all unpacked gems rake gems:build GEM=mygem # builds only the gem ‘mygem‘

• Add config.active_support for future configuration options. Also, add more new Rails 3 config settings to new_rails_defaults.rb [Rick Olson]
• Add Rails.logger, Rails.root, Rails.env and Rails.cache shortcuts for RAILS_* constants [Pratik Naik]
• Allow files in plugins to be reloaded like the rest of the application. [Rick Olson]

  Enables or disables plugin reloading.

    config.reload_plugins = true
  

  You can get around this setting per plugin. If reload_plugins? == false (DEFAULT), add this to your plugin‘s init.rb to make it reloadable:

    Dependencies.load_once_paths.delete lib_path
  

  If reload_plugins? == true, add this to your plugin‘s init.rb to only load it once:

    Dependencies.load_once_paths << lib_path
  

• Small tweak to allow plugins to specify gem dependencies. [Rick Olson]

  # OLD open_id_authentication plugin init.rb require ‘yadis’ require ‘openid’ ActionController::Base.send :include, OpenIdAuthentication

  # NEW config.gem "ruby-openid", :lib => "openid", :version => "1.1.4" config.gem "ruby-yadis", :lib => "yadis", :version => "0.3.4"

  config.after_initialize do

    ActionController::Base.send :include, OpenIdAuthentication
  

  end

• Added config.gem for specifying which gems are required by the application, as well as rake tasks for installing and freezing gems. [Rick Olson]

  Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

    config.gem "bj"
    config.gem "hpricot", :version => '0.6', :source => "http://code.whytheluckystiff.net"
    config.gem "aws-s3", :lib => "aws/s3"
  

  end

  # List required gems. rake gems

  # Install all required gems: rake gems:install

  # Unpack specified gem to vendor/gems/gem_name-x.x.x rake gems:unpack GEM=bj

• Removed the default .htaccess configuration as there are so many good deployment options now (kept it as an example in README) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• config.time_zone accepts TZInfo::Timezone identifiers as well as Rails TimeZone identifiers [Geoff Buesing]
• Rails::Initializer#initialize_time_zone raises an error if value assigned to config.time_zone is not recognized. Rake time zone tasks only require ActiveSupport instead of entire environment [Geoff Buesing]
• Stop adding the antiquated test/mocks/* directories and only add them to the path if they‘re still there for legacy reasons [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added that gems can now be plugins if they include rails/init.rb 11444 [John Barnette]
• Added Plugin#about method to programmatically access the about.yml in a plugin 10979 [James Adam]

    plugin = Rails::Plugin.new(path_to_my_plugin)
    plugin.about["author"] # => "James Adam"
    plugin.about["url"] # => "http://interblah.net"

• Add config.time_zone for configuring the default Time.zone value. 10982 [Geoff Buesing]
• Added support for installing plugins hosted at git repositories 11294 [Jack Danger Canty]
• Fixed that script/generate would not look for plugin generators in plugin_paths 11000 [glv]
• Fixed database rake tasks to work with charset/collation and show proper error messages on failure. Closes 11301 [matt]
• Added a -e/—export to script/plugin install, uses svn export. 10847 [jon@blankpad.net)]
• Reshuffle load order so that routes and observers are initialized after plugins and app initializers. Closes 10980 [Rick Olson]
• Git support for script/generate. 10690 [ssoroka]
• Update scaffold to use labels instead of bold tags. Closes 10757 [zach-inglis-lt3]
• Resurrect WordNet synonym lookups. 10710 [tom./, matt]
• Added config.cache_store to environment options to control the default cache store (default is FileStore if tmp/cache is present, otherwise MemoryStore is used) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added that rails:update is run when you do rails:freeze:edge to ensure you also get the latest JS and config files 10565 [jeff]
• SQLite: db:drop:all doesn‘t fail silently if the database is already open. 10577 [Cheah Chu Yeow, mrichman]
• Introduce native mongrel handler and push mutex into dispatcher. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Ruby 1.9 compatibility. 1689, 10546 [Cheah Chu Yeow, frederico]

*2.0.2* (December 16th, 2007)

• Changed the default database from mysql to sqlite3, so now running "rails myapp" will have a config/database.yml that‘s setup for SQLite3 (which in OS X Leopard is installed by default, so is the gem, so everything Just Works with no database configuration at all). To get a Rails application preconfigured for MySQL, just run "rails -d mysql myapp" [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Turned on ActionView::Base.cache_template_loading by default in config/environments/production.rb to prevent file system stat calls for every template loading to see if it changed (this means that you have to restart the application to see template changes in production mode) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Introduce `rake secret` to output a crytographically secure secret key for use with cookie sessions 10363 [revans]
• Fixed that local database creation should consider 127.0.0.1 local 9026 [parcelbrat]
• Fixed that functional tests generated for scaffolds should use fixture calls instead of hard-coded IDs 10435 [boone]
• Added db:migrate:redo and db:migrate:reset for rerunning existing migrations 10431, 10432 [matt]
• RAILS_GEM_VERSION may be double-quoted also. 10443 [James Cox]

• Update to Prototype -r8232. [sam]
• Introduce SecretKeyGenerator for more secure session secrets than CGI::Session‘s pseudo-random id generator. Consider extracting to Active Support later. 10286 [Hongli Lai (Phusion)]
• RAILS_GEM_VERSION may be set to any valid gem version specifier. 10057 [Chad Woolley, Cheah Chu Yeow]
• Load config/preinitializer.rb, if present, before loading the environment. 9943 [Chad Woolley]
• FastCGI handler ignores unsupported signals like USR2 on Windows. [Grzegorz Derebecki]
• Only load ActionMailer::TestCase if ActionMailer is loaded. Closes 10137 [defunkt]
• Fixed that db:reset would use migrations instead of loading db/schema.rb [David Heinemeier Hansson]

• Update Prototype to 1.6.0_rc1 and script.aculo.us to 1.8.0 preview 0. [sam, madrobby]
• Generated fixtures use the actual primary key instead of id. 4343 [Frederick Ros, Tarmo Tänav]
• Extend the console helper method to allow you to include custom helpers. e.g: >> helper :posts >> helper.some_method_from_posts_helper(Post.find(1))
• db:create works with remote databases whereas db:create:all only creates

databases on localhost. 9753 [Trevor Wennblom]

• Removed calls to fixtures in generated tests as fixtures :all is now present by default in test_helper.rb [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Add —prefix option to script/server when using mongrel. [dacat]

*2.0.0 [Preview Release]* (September 29th, 2007) [Includes duplicates of changes from 1.1.4 - 1.2.3]

• Fixed that installing plugins from SVN repositories that use trunk/ will work 8188 [evan]
• Moved the SourceAnnotationExtractor to a separate file in case libraries try to load the rails rake tasks twice. [Rick Olson]
• Moved Dispatcher to ActionController::Dispatcher. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Changed the default logger from Ruby‘s own Logger with the clean_logger extensions to ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger for performance reasons [David Heinemeier Hansson]. (You can change it back with config.logger = Logger.new("/path/to/log", level).)
• Added a default 422.html page to be rendered when ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid, ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved, or ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken is raised [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added —skip-fixture option to script/generate model 6862 [sandofsky]
• Print Rails version when starting console 7440 [eyematz]

• Fixes rake annotations to search erb and builder files as well 9150 [m.langenberg]
• Removed web_service generator [Michael Koziarski]
• Added the :all option to config.plugins that‘ll include the rest of the plugins not already explicitly named 9613 [Frederick Cheung]. Example:

    # Loads :classic_pagination before all the other plugins
    config.plugins = [ :classic_pagination, :all ]
  

• Added symbols as a legal way of specifying plugins in config.plugins 9629 [tom]
• Removed deprecated task names, like clear_logs, in favor of the new namespaced style [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Support multiple config.after_initialize blocks so plugins and apps can more easily cooperate. 9582 [Zach Dennis]
• Added db:drop:all to drop all databases declared in config/database.yml [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Use attribute pairs instead of the migration name to create add and remove column migrations. Closes 9166 [Pratik Naik]

        For example:
  
        ruby script/generation migration AddSomeStuffToCustomers first_name:string last_name:string
  
        or
  
        ruby script/generation migration RemoveSomeStuffFromCustomers first_name:string last_name:string
  

• Add ActiveResource to Rails::Info. Closes 8741 [Chris Kampmeier]
• use Gem.find_name instead of search when freezing gems. Prevent false positives for other gems with rails in the name. Closes 8729 [wselman]
• Automatically generate add/remove column commands in specially named migrations like AddLocationToEvent. Closes 9006 [Ryan Davis]
• Default to plural table name in Rails Generator if ActiveRecord is not present. Closes 8963 [evan]
• Added rake routes for listing all the defined routes in the system. 8795 [Josh Peek]
• db:create creates the database for the current environment if it‘s on localhost. db:create:all creates local databases for all environments. 8783 [matt]
• Generators: look for generators in all gems, not just those suffixed with _generator, in the gem‘s generators or rails_generators directory. Allow use of the rails_generators directory instead of the standard generators directory in plugins also. 8730 [Dr Nic, topfunky]
• MySQL, PostgreSQL: database.yml defaults to utf-8. 8701 [matt]
• Added db:version to get the current schema number [via Err The Blog]
• Added —skip-migration option to scaffold and resource generators 8656 [Michael Glaesemann]
• Fix that FCGIs would leave log files open when asked to shut down by USR2. 3028 [Sebastian Kanthak, Josh Peek]
• Fixed that dispatcher preparation callbacks only run once in production mode. Mock Routes.reload so that dispatcher preparation callback tests run. [Rick Olson]
• Fix syntax error in dispatcher than wrecked failsafe responses. 8625 [mtitorenko]
• Scaffolded validation errors set the appropriate HTTP status for XML responses. 6946, 8622 [Manfred Stienstra, mmmultiworks]
• Sexy migrations for the session_migration generator. 8561 [Vladislav]
• Console reload! runs to_prepare callbacks also. 8393 [f.svehla]
• Generated migrations include timestamps by default. 8501 [Shane Vitarana]
• Drop Action Web Service from rails:freeze:edge. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Add db:create, drop, reset, charset, and collation tasks. 8448 [matt]
• Scaffold generator depends on model generator instead of duplicating it. 7222 [bscofield]
• Scaffold generator tests. 8443 [pelle]
• Generated scaffold functional tests use assert_difference. 8421 [Norbert Crombach]
• Update to Prototype 1.5.1. [Sam Stephenson]
• Update to script.aculo.us 1.7.1_beta3. [Thomas Fuchs]
• Generators use *.html.erb view template naming. 8278 [Tim Pope]
• Updated resource_scaffold and model generators to use short-hand style migrations [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Updated initializer to only load #{RAILS_ENV}.rb once. Added deprecation warning for config.breakpoint_server. [Nicholas Seckar]
• Removed breakpointer and Binding.of_caller in favor of relying on ruby-debug by Kent Sibilev since the breakpointer has been broken since Ruby 1.8.4 and will not be coming back [David Heinemeier Hansson]

  To use the new debugger, start your server with script/server —debugger and insert a call to ‘debugger’ (instead of ‘breakpoint’) where you want to jump into the debugger.

  BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY NOTE: You must remove the default line 12 from config/environments/development.rb:

    config.breakpoint_server = true
  

  This configuration option is no longer available. Rails will fail to start in development mode as long as that‘s still present.

• Resource scaffolding returns the created entity.to_xml. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Resource scaffolding responds to new.xml. 8185 [Eric Mill]
• Include Active Resource in rails:freeze:edge rake task. [Thomas Fuchs]
• Include Active Resource instead of Action Web Service [David Heinemeier Hansson] You can add AWS back with this in config/environment.rb:

    config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionwebservice/lib )
  

  …or just gem ‘actionwebservice‘

• Give generate scaffold a more descriptive database message. Closes 7316 [Jeremy McAnally]
• Canonicalize RAILS_ROOT by using File.expand_path on Windows, which doesn‘t have to worry about symlinks, and Pathname#realpath elsewhere, which respects symlinks in relative paths but is incompatible with Windows. 6755 [Jeremy Kemper, trevor]
• Deprecation: remove components from controller paths. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Add environment variable RAILS_DEFAULT_DATABASE, which allows the builtin default of ‘mysql’ to be overridden. [Nicholas Seckar]
• Windows: include MinGW in RUBY_PLATFORM check. 2982 [okkez000@gmail.com, Kaspar Schiess]
• Split out the basic plugin locator functionality into an abstract super class. Add a FileSystemLocator to do the job of checking the plugin_paths for plugins. Add plugin_locators configuration option which will iterate over the set of plugin locators and load each of the plugin loaders they return. Rename locater everywhere to locator. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
• Split plugin location and loading out of the initializer and into a new Plugin namespace, which includes Plugin::Locater and Plugin::Loader. The loader class that is used can be customized using the config.plugin_loader option. Those monkey patching the plugin loading subsystem take note, the internals changing here will likely break your modifications. The good news is that it should be substantially easier to hook into the plugin locating and loading process now. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
• Added assumption that all plugin creators desire to be sharing individuals and release their work under the MIT license [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added source-annotations extractor tasks to rake [Jamis Buck]. This allows you to add FIXME, OPTIMIZE, and TODO comments to your source code that can then be extracted in concert with rake notes (shows all), rake notes:fixme, rake notes:optimize and rake notes:todo.
• Added fixtures :all to test_helper.rb to assume that most people just want all their fixtures loaded all the time [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added config/initializers where all ruby files within it are automatically loaded after the Rails configuration is done, so you don‘t have to litter the environment.rb file with a ton of mixed stuff [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• For new apps, generate a random secret for the cookie-based session store. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Stop swallowing errors during rake test [Michael Koziarski]
• Update Rails Initializer to use ActionController::Base#view_paths [Rick Olson]
• Fix gem deprecation warnings, which also means depending on RubyGems 0.9.0+ [Chad Fowler]
• Plugins may be symlinked in vendor/plugins. 4245 [brandon, progrium@gmail.com]
• Resource generator depends on the model generator rather than duplicating it. 7269 [bscofield]
• Add/Update usage documentation for script/destroy, resource generator and scaffold_resource generator. Closes 7092, 7271, 7267. [bscofield]
• Update to script.aculo.us 1.7.0. [Thomas Fuchs]
• Update to Prototype 1.5.0. [Sam Stephenson]
• Generator: use destination path for diff tempfiles. 7015 [alfeld]
• Fixed that webrick would strip leading newlines and hang connection 4156 [psross]
• Ensure plugins are in the Dependencies.load_once_paths collection by default. [Rick Olson] If you really want your plugins to reload, add this to the very top of init.rb:

    Dependencies.load_once_paths.delete(lib_path)
  

• Allow config.to_prepare to work, make the dispatcher safe to ‘re require’. [Michael Koziarski, Nicholas Seckar]
• Fix scaffold_resource generator so it respects the —pretend argument when creating the routes file. Closes 6852 [fearoffish]
• Fix Webrick Daemon dispatching bug regarding a bad current working directory. Closes 4899 [Rick Olson]
• Make config.plugins affect the load path and the dependencies system. Allows you to control plugin loading order, and keep disabled plugins off the load path. [James Adam]
• Don‘t generate a components directory in new Rails apps. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Fixed script/process/spawner to work properly with Mongrel including in -r (daemonize mode) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added one-letter aliases for the three default environments to script/console, so script/console p will load the production environment (t for test, d for development) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Fixed that script/server running against Mongrel should tail the proper log regardless of the environment [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Update initializer to load Rails::VERSION as soon as possible. Closes 6698. [Nicholas Seckar]
• Added ActiveRecord::Base.clear_active_connections! in development mode so the database connection is not carried over from request to request. Some databases won‘t reread the schema if that doesn‘t happen (I‘m looking at you SQLite), so you have to restart the server after each migration (= no fun) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Made RAILS_GEM_VERSION work for beta gems too, so specifying 1.1.6 will give you 1.1.6.4520 if available [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. [Thomas Fuchs]
• Made script/server work with -e and -d when using Mongrel [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2 [5550] which makes it work in Opera again [Thomas Fuchs]
• Make sure that exceptions which are thrown outside of the user code try their best to be handeled in ApplicationController#rescue_action [Tobias Lütke]
• Rails::VERSION::STRING should always be available without having to require ‘rails/version’. 6244 [fearoffish]
• Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2. [Sam Stephenson]
• Add grep-based fallback to reaper, to work in pidless setups [Jamis Buck]
• Only wrap request processing with our USR1 signal handler so FastCGI can trap it and raise an exception while waiting for connections. Idle processes exit immediately rather than waiting for another request; active processes gracefully exit when the request is finished. [Jeremy Kemper]

• Fixed rails:freeze:gems for Windows 3274 [paul@paulbutcher.com]

• Add verification to generated scaffolds, don‘t allow get for unsafe actions [Michael Koziarski]
• Don‘t replace application.js in public/javascripts if it already exists [Cody Fauser]
• Change test:uncommitted to delay execution of `svn status` by using internal Rake API‘s. [Nicholas Seckar]
• Use require_library_or_gem to load rake in commands/server.rb. Closes 4205. [rob.rasmussen@gmail.com]
• Use the Rake API instead of shelling out to create the tmp directory in commands/server.rb. [Chad Fowler]
• Added a backtrace to the evil WSOD (White Screen of Death). Closes 4073. TODO: Clearer exceptions [Rick Olson]
• Added tracking of database and framework versions in script/about 4088 [charles.gerungan@gmail.com/Rick Olson]
• Added public/javascripts/application.js as a sample since it‘ll automatically be included in javascript_include_tag :defaults [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added socket cleanup for lighttpd, both before and after [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added automatic creation of tmp/ when running script/server [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added silence_stream that‘ll work on both STDERR or STDOUT or any other stream and deprecated silence_stderr in the process [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added reload! method to script/console to reload all models and others that include Reloadable without quitting the console 4056 [esad@esse.at]
• Added that rake rails:freeze:edge will now just export all the contents of the frameworks instead of just lib, so stuff like rails:update:scripts, rails:update:javascripts, and script/server on lighttpd still just works 4047 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added fix for upload problems with lighttpd from Safari/IE to config/lighttpd.conf 3999 [Thijs van der Vossen]

• Remove the extraneous AR::Base.threaded_connections setting from the webrick server. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Add integration test support to app generation and testing [Jamis Buck]
• Added namespaces to all tasks, so for example load_fixtures is now db:fixtures:load. All the old task names are still valid, they just point to the new namespaced names. "rake -T" will only show the namespaced ones, though [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• CHANGED DEFAULT: ActiveRecord::Base.schema_format is now :ruby by default instead of :sql. This means that we‘ll assume you want to live in the world of db/schema.rb where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. If your schema contains un-dumpable elements, such as constraints or database-specific column types, you just got an invitation to either 1) patch the dumper to include foreign key support, 2) stop being db specific, or 3) just change the default in config/environment.rb to config.active_record.schema_format = :sql — we even include an example for that on new Rails skeletons now. Brought to you by the federation of opinionated framework builders! [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added -r/—repeat option to script/process/spawner that offers the same loop protection as the spinner did. This deprecates the script/process/spinner, so it‘s no longer included in the default Rails skeleton, but still available for backwards compatibility 3461 [ror@andreas-s.net]
• Added collision option to template generation in generators 3329 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:

    m.template "stuff.config" , "config/stuff.config" , :collision => :skip
    m.template "auto-stamping", "config/generator.log", :collision => :force
  

• Added more information to script/plugin‘s doings to ease debugging 3755 [Rick Olson]
• Changed the default configuration for lighttpd to use tmp/sockets instead of log/ for the FastCGI sockets [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added a default configuration of the FileStore for fragment caching if tmp/cache is available, which makes action/fragment caching ready to use out of the box with no additional configuration [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Changed the default session configuration to place sessions in tmp/sessions, if that directory is available, instead of /tmp (this essentially means a goodbye to 9/10 White Screen of Death errors and should have web hosting firms around the world cheering) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added tmp/sessions, tmp/cache, and tmp/sockets as default directories in the Rails skeleton [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added that script/generate model will now automatically create a migration file for the model created. This can be turned off by calling the generator with —skip-migration [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added -d/—database option to the rails command, so you can do "rails —database=sqlite2 myapp" to start a new application preconfigured to use SQLite2 as the database. Removed the configuration examples from SQLite and PostgreSQL from the default MySQL configuration [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Allow script/server -c /path/to/lighttpd.conf [Jeremy Kemper]
• Remove hardcoded path to reaper script in script/server [Jeremy Kemper]
• Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.3 [Thomas Fuchs]
• Added SIGTRAP signal handler to RailsFCGIHandler that‘ll force the process into a breakpoint after the next request. This breakpoint can then be caught with script/breakpointer and give you access to the Ruby image inside that process. Useful for debugging memory leaks among other things [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Changed default lighttpd.conf to use CWD from lighttpd 1.4.10 that allows the same configuration to be used for both detach and not. Also ensured that auto-repeaping of FCGIs only happens when lighttpd is not detached. [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Added Configuration#after_initialize for registering a block which gets called after the framework is fully initialized. Useful for things like per-environment configuration of plugins. [Michael Koziarski]
• Added check for RAILS_FRAMEWORK_ROOT constant that allows the Rails framework to be found in a different place than vendor/rails. Should be set in boot.rb. [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Fixed that static requests could unlock the mutex guarding dynamic requests in the WEBrick servlet 3433 [tom@craz8.com]
• Fixed documentation tasks to work with Rake 0.7.0 3563 [kazuhiko@fdiary.net]
• Update to Prototype 1.5.0_pre0 [Sam Stephenson]
• Sort the list of plugins so we load in a consistent order [Rick Olson]
• Show usage when script/plugin is called without arguments [tom@craz8.com]
• Corrected problems with plugin loader where plugins set ‘name’ incorrectly 3297 [anna@wota.jp]
• Make migration generator only report on exact duplicate names, not partial dupliate names. 3442 [jeremy@planetargon.com Marcel Molina Jr.]
• Fix typo in mailer generator USAGE. 3458 [chriztian.steinmeier@gmail.com]
• Ignore version mismatch between pg_dump and the database server. 3457 [Simon Stapleton]

• script/plugin: handle root paths and plugin names which contain spaces. 2995 [justin@aspect.net]
• Model generator: correct relative path to test_helper in unit test. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Make the db_schema_dump task honor the SCHEMA environment variable if present the way db_schema_import does. 2931. [Blair Zajac]
• Have the lighttpd server script report the actual ip to which the server is bound. 2903. [Adam]
• Add plugin library directories to the load path after the lib directory so that libraries in the lib directory get precedence. 2910. [James Adam]
• Make help for the console command more explicit about how to specify the desired environment in which to run the console. 2911. [anonymous]
• PostgreSQL: the purge_test_database Rake task shouldn‘t explicitly specify the template0 template when creating a fresh test database. 2964 [Dreamer3]
• Introducing the session_migration generator. Creates an add_session_table migration. Allows generator to specify migrations directory. 2958, 2960 [Rick Olson]
• script/console uses RAILS_ENV environment variable if present. 2932 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>
• Windows: eliminate the socket option in database.yml. 2924 [Wayne Vucenic <waynev@gmail.com>]
• Eliminate nil from newly generated logfiles. 2927 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
• Rename Version constant to VERSION. 2802 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
• Eliminate Subversion dependencies in scripts/plugin. Correct install options. Introduce —force option to reinstall a plugin. Remove useless —long option for list. Use —quiet to quiet the download output and —revision to update to a specific svn revision. 2842 [Chad Fowler, Rick Olson]
• SQLite: the clone_structure_to_test and purge_test_database Rake tasks should always use the test environment. 2846 [Rick Olson]
• Make sure that legacy db tasks also reference :database for SQLite 2830 [kazuhiko@fdiary.net]
• Pass FILE when evaluating plugins’ init.rb. 2817 [James Adam]
• Better svn status matching for generators. 2814 [François Beausoleil <francois.beausoleil@gmail.com>, Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
• Don‘t reload routes until plugins have been loaded so they have a chance to extend the routing capabilities [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Don‘t detach or fork for script/server tailing [Nicholas Seckar]
• Changed all script/* to use #!/usr/bin/env ruby instead of hard-coded Ruby path. public/dispatcher.* still uses the hard-coded path for compatibility with web servers that don‘t have Ruby in path [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• Force RAILS_ENV to be "test" when running tests, so that ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "production" in config/environment.rb doesn‘t wreck havok [David Heinemeier Hansson] 2660
• Correct versioning in :freeze_gems Rake task. 2778 [Jakob Skjerning, Jeremy Kemper]
• Added an omnipresent RailsInfoController with a properties action that delivers an HTML rendering of Rails::Info (but only when local_request? is true). Added a new default index.html which fetches this with Ajax. [Sam Stephenson]

It will use lighttpd if available, otherwise WEBrick. You can force either or using ‘script/server lighttpd’ or ‘script/server webrick’ [David Heinemeier Hansson]
• New configuration option config.plugin_paths which may be a single path like the default ‘vendor/plugins’ or an array of paths: [‘vendor/plugins’, ‘lib/plugins’]. [Jeremy Kemper]

• Catch CGI multipart parse errors. Wrap dispatcher internals in a failsafe response handler. [Jeremy Kemper]
• The freeze_gems Rake task accepts the VERSION environment variable to decide which version of Rails to pull into vendor/rails. [Chad Fowler, Jeremy Kemper]
• Removed script.aculo.us.js, builder.js and slider.js (preperation for move of scriptaculous extensions to plugins, core scriptaculous will remain in Railties) [Thomas Fuchs]
• The freeze_edge Rake task does smarter svn detection and can export a specific revision by passing the REVISION environment variable. For example: rake freeze_edge REVISION=1234. 2663 [Rick Olson]
• Comment database.yml and include PostgreSQL and SQLite examples. [Jeremy Kemper]
• Improve script/plugin on Windows. 2646 [Chad Fowler]
• The *_plugindoc Rake tasks look deeper into the plugins’ lib directories. 2652 [bellis@deepthought.org]
