* Extracted the process scripts (inspector, reaper, spawner) into the plugin irs_process_scripts [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Changed Rails.root to return a Pathname object (allows for Rails.root.join('app', 'controllers') => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers") #1482 [Damian Janowski/?]
* 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]
* BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Renamed application.rb to application_controller.rb and removed all the special casing that was in place to support the former. You must do this rename in your own application when you upgrade to this version [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Fixed plugin generator so that generated unit tests would subclass ActiveSupport::TestCase, also introduced a helper script to reduce the needed require statements #1137 [Mathias Meyer]
* 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 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]
* 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]
* Add warning to documentation about using transactional fixtures when the code under test uses transactions itself. Closes #7548 [Thijs van der Vossen]
* 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)]
* 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]
* 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]
* 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]
* 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 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 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]
* 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]
* 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]
* 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]
* 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]
* Alter prior change to use require_dependency instead of require_or_load. Causes ApplicationController to be reloaded again. Closes #6587. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Rake: use absolute paths to load lib and vendor tasks so they may be run outside of RAILS_ROOT. #6584 [jchris]
* Remove temporary crutch to help ApplicationController be unloaded. Closes #6496. [Nicholas Seckar]
* scaffold_resource generator uses _path named routes and head instead of render :nothing => true. #6545 [Josh Susser]
* Generator can show diff on file collision to help you decide whether to skip or overwrite. #6364 [jeffw, Jeremy Kemper]
* Generated directories are recursively svn added, like mkdir -p. #6416 [NeilW]
* resource and scaffold_resource generators add a restful route to config/routes.rb [Jeremy Kemper]
* Update to latest Prototype, which doesn't serialize disabled form elements, adds clone() to arrays, empty/non-string Element.update() and adds a fixes excessive error reporting in WebKit beta versions [Thomas Fuchs]
* Added config.plugins to control which plugins are loaded #6269 [Stefan Kaes]. By default, everything in vendor/plugins will be loaded, but if you specify config.plugins, only those will be loaded. Example:
* Fixed migration creation to work with namespaced models, so script/generate model Gallery::Image will use create_table :gallery_images #6327 [Bob Silva]
* Added generated attribute options to script/generate model, like the one found in scaffold_resource and resource [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
* Added script/generate resource which works just like scaffold_resource, but creates empty placeholders instead of predefined [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Remove the uncanny default of adding all app/models/*/ directories to the load path. This change will break application which expect the current behavior. As
* Assign Routing.controller_paths; fix script/about and rails info controller. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Don't warn dispatcher of Reloadable deprecations. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Rearrange application resetting and preparation, fix bug with leaking subclasses hash in ActiveRecord::Base [Rick Olson]
ActiveRecord::Base.reset_subclasses is called before Dependencies are cleared and classes removed.
ActiveRecord::Base.instantiate_observers is called during a Dispatcher preparation callback.
* Add missing mock directories from the autoload_paths configuration. [Rick Olson]
* Nested controller scaffolding also nests the generated layout. [iain d broadfoot]
* Add "require 'dispatcher'" to webrick server in the continuing quest to squash webrick weirdness. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Add autoload_paths support to Initializer. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fix Dispatcher.reset_application! so that AR subclasses are removed and Observers re-initialized *after* Reloadable classes are removed. Closes #5743. [Rick Olson]
* Added Mongrel-spawning capabilities to script/process/spawner. Mongrel will be the default choice if installed, otherwise FCGI is tried [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
spawner # starts instances on 8000, 8001, and 8002 using Mongrel if available
spawner fcgi # starts instances on 8000, 8001, and 8002 using FCGI
spawner mongrel -i 5 # starts instances on 8000, 8001, 8002, 8003, and 8004 using Mongrel
spawner -p 9100 -i 10 # starts 10 instances counting from 9100 to 9109 using Mongrel if available
spawner -p 9100 -r 5 # starts 3 instances counting from 9100 to 9102 and attempts start them every 5 seconds
Also note that script/process/reaper is Mongrel capable. So the combination of spawner and reaper is a built-in alternative to something like mongrel_cluster.
* Update scaffolding functional tests to use :id => people(:first) instead of :id => 1. #5612 [evan@protest.net]
* db:test:clone should remove existing tables before reloading the schema. #5607 [sveit@tradeharbor.com]
* Fixed migration generation for class names like ACLController #5197 [brad@madriska.com]
* Added show_source_list and show_call_stack to breakpoints to make it easier to get context #5476 [takiuchi@drecom.co.jp]. Examples:
* Added uninstall.rb hook to plugin handling, such that plugins have a way of removing assets and other artifacts on removal #5003 [takiuchi@drecom.co.jp]
* Create temporary dirs relative to RAILS_ROOT when running script/server #5014 [elliot@townx.org]
* Minor tweak to dispatcher to use recognize instead of recognize!, as per the new routes. [Jamis Buck]
* Make "script/plugin install" work with svn+ssh URLs. [Sam Stephenson]
* The app generator detects the XAMPP package's MySQL socket location. #3832 [elliot@townx.org]
* The app generator sets a session key in application.rb so apps running on the same host may distinguish their cookies. #2967 [rcoder, rails-bug@owl.me.uk]
* Added pid file usage to script/process/spawner and script/process/reaper along with a directive in default config/lighttpd.conf file to record the pid. They will all save their pid file in tmp/pids [David Heinemeier Hansson]
If you really want your plugins to reload, add this to the very top of init.rb:
Dependencies.load_once_paths.delete(lib_path)
* 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]

* Added pid file usage to script/process/spawner and script/process/reaper along with a directive in default config/lighttpd.conf file to record the pid. They will all save their pid file in tmp/pids [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Fixed that boot.rb would set RAILS_GEM_VERSION twice, not respect an uncommented RAILS_GEM_VERSION line, and not use require_gem [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Added that Dispatcher exceptions should not be shown to the user unless a default log has not been configured. Instead show public/500.html [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Added TAG option for rake rails:freeze:edge, so you can say rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_1-1-0 to lock to the 1.1.0 release [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Avoid passing escapeHTML non-string in Rails' info controller [Nicholas Seckar]
*1.1.0* (March 27th, 2006)
* Allow db:fixtures:load to load a subset of the applications fixtures. [Chad Fowler]
ex.
rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=customers,plans
* Update to Prototype 1.5.0_pre1 [Sam Stephenson]
* Update to script.aculo.us 1.6 [Thomas Fuchs]
* Add an integration_test generator [Jamis Buck]
* Make all ActionView helpers available in the console from the helper method for debugging purposes. n.b.: Only an 80% solution. Some stuff won't work, most will. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Replaced old session rake tasks with db:sessions:create to generate a migration, and db:sessions:clear to remove sessions. [Rick Olson]
* Reject Ruby 1.8.3 when loading Rails; extract version checking code. [Chad Fowler]
* Remove explicit loading of RailsInfo and RailsInfoController. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Move RailsInfo and RailsInfoController to Rails::Info and Rails::InfoController. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Extend load path with Railties' builtin directory to make adding support code easy. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fix the rails_info controller by explicitly loading it, and marking it as not reloadable. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fixed rails:freeze:gems for Windows #3274 [paul@paulbutcher.com]
* Added 'port open?' check to the spawner when running in repeat mode so we don't needlessly boot the dispatcher if the port is already in use anyway #4089 [guy.naor@famundo.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 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 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 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:
* 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 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]
* 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]
* PostgreSQL: the purge_test_database Rake task shouldn't explicitly specify the template0 template when creating a fresh test database. #2964 [Dreamer3]
* 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]
* 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
* 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]
*0.14.3 (RC4)* (November 7th, 2005)
* Add 'add_new_scripts' rake task for adding new rails scripts to script/* [Jamis Buck]
* Remove bogus hyphen from script/process/reaper calls to 'ps'. #2767 [anonymous]
* Copy lighttpd.conf when it is first needed, instead of on app creation [Jamis Buck]
* Use require_library_or_gem 'fcgi' in script/server [Sam Stephenson]
* Added default lighttpd config in config/lighttpd.conf and added a default runner for lighttpd in script/server (works like script/server, but using lighttpd and FastCGI). 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]
* Plugins are discovered in nested paths, so you can organize your plugins directory as you like. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Refactor load_plugin from load_plugins. #2757 [alex.r.moon@gmail.com]
* Make use of silence_stderr in script/lighttpd, script/plugin, and Rails::Info [Sam Stephenson]
* Enable HTTP installation of plugins when svn isn't avaialable. Closes #2661. [Chad Fowler]
* Added script/about to display formatted Rails::Info output [Sam Stephenson]
* Added Rails::Info to catalog assorted information about a Rails application's environment [Sam Stephenson]
* Tail the logfile when running script/server lighttpd in the foreground [Sam Stephenson]
* Try to guess the port number from config/lighttpd.conf in script/server lighttpd [Sam Stephenson]
* If specified, pass PostgreSQL client character encoding to createdb. #2703 [Kazuhiko <kazuhiko@fdiary.net>]
* 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]
* The PostgreSQL :db_structure_dump Rake task limits its dump to the schema search path in database.yml. [Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com>]
* Added that plugins can carry generators and that generator stub files can be created along with new plugins using script/generate plugin <name> --with-generator [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Added plugin generator to create a stub structure for a new plugin in vendor/plugins (see "script/generate plugin" for help) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Fix rake dev and related commands [Nicholas Seckar]
* The rails command tries to deduce your MySQL socket by running `mysql_config
--socket`. If it fails, default to /path/to/your/mysql.sock
* Made the rails command use the application name for database names in the tailored database.yml file. Example: "rails ~/projects/blog" will use "blog_development" instead of "rails_development". [Florian Weber]
* Added Rails framework freezing tasks: freeze_gems (freeze to current gems), freeze_edge (freeze to Rails SVN trunk), unfreeze_rails (float with newest gems on system)
* Added cleaning of RAILS_ROOT to useless elements such as '../non-dot-dot/'. Provides cleaner backtraces and error messages. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Made the instantiated/transactional fixtures settings be controlled through Rails::Initializer. Transactional and non-instantiated fixtures are default from now on. [Florian Weber]
* Support using different database adapters for development and test with ActiveRecord::Base.schema_format = :ruby [Sam Stephenson]
* Make webrick work with session(:off)
* Add --version, -v option to the Rails command. Closes #1840. [stancell]
* Update Prototype to V1.4.0_pre11, script.aculo.us to V1.5_rc3 [2504] and fix the rails generator to include the new .js files [Thomas Fuchs]
* Make the generator skip a file if it already exists and is identical to the new file.
* Add experimental plugin support #2335
* Made Rakefile aware of new .js files in script.aculo.us [Thomas Fuchs]
* Make table_name and controller_name in generators honor AR::Base.pluralize_table_names. #1216 #2213 [kazuhiko@fdiary.net]
* Clearly label functional and unit tests in rake stats output. #2297 [lasse.koskela@gmail.com]
* Make the migration generator only check files ending in *.rb when calculating the next file name #2317 [Chad Fowler]
* Add db_schema_dump and db_schema_import rake tasks to work with the new ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper (for dumping a schema to and reading a schema from a ruby file).
* Reformed all the config/environments/* files to conform to the new Rails::Configuration approach. Fully backwards compatible.
* Added create_sessions_table, drop_sessions_table, and purge_sessions_table as rake tasks for databases that supports migrations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) to get a table for use with CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore
* Added dump of schema version to the db_structure_dump task for databases that support migrations #1835 [Rick Olson]
* Fixed script/profiler for Ruby 1.8.2 #1863 [Rick Olson]
* Fixed clone_structure_to_test task for SQLite #1864 [jon@burningbush.us]
* Added -m/--mime-types option to the WEBrick server, so you can specify a Apache-style mime.types file to load #2059 [ask@develooper.com]
* Added -c/--svn option to the generator that'll add new files and remove destroyed files using svn add/revert/remove as appropriate #2064 [Kevin Clark]
* Added -c/--charset option to WEBrick server, so you can specify a default charset (which without changes is UTF-8) #2084 [wejn@box.cz]
* Make the default stats task extendable by modifying the STATS_DIRECTORIES constant
* Allow the selected environment to define RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER, and have Rails::Initializer use it if it exists.
* Moved all the shared tasks from Rakefile into Rails, so that the Rakefile is empty and doesn't require updating.
* Added Rails::Initializer and Rails::Configuration to abstract all of the common setup out of config/environment.rb (uses config/boot.rb to bootstrap the initializer and paths)
* Fixed the scaffold generator to fail right away if the database isn't accessible instead of in mid-air #1169 [Chad Fowler]
* Corrected project-local generator location in scripts.rb #2010 [Michael Schuerig]
* Don't require the environment just to clear the logs #2093 [Scott Barron]
* Make the default rakefile read *.rake files from config/tasks (for easy extension of the rakefile by e.g. generators)
* Only load breakpoint in development mode and when BREAKPOINT_SERVER_PORT is defined.
* Allow the --toggle-spin switch on process/reaper to be negated
* Replace render_partial with render :partial in scaffold generator [Nicholas Seckar]
* Added -w flag to ps in process/reaper #1934 [Scott Barron]
* Allow ERb in the database.yml file (just like with fixtures), so you can pull out the database configuration in environment variables #1822 [Duane Johnson]
* Added convenience controls for FCGI processes (especially when managed remotely): spinner, spawner, and reaper. They reside in script/process. More details can be had by calling them with -h/--help.
* Dropped the 'immediate close-down' of FCGI processes since it didn't work consistently and produced bad responses when it didn't. So now a TERM ensures exit after the next request (just as if the process is handling a request when it receives the signal). This means that you'll have to 'nudge' all FCGI processes with a request in order to ensure that they have all reloaded. This can be done by something like ./script/process/repear --nudge 'http://www.myapp.com' --instances 10, which will load the myapp site 10 times (and thus hit all of the 10 FCGI processes once, enough to shut down).
*0.13.1* (11 July, 2005)
* Look for app-specific generators in RAILS_ROOT/generators rather than the clunky old RAILS_ROOT/script/generators. Nobody really uses this feature except for the unit tests, so it's a negligible-impact change. If you want to work with third-party generators, drop them in ~/.rails/generators or simply install gems.
* Fixed that each request with the WEBrick adapter would open a new database connection #1685 [Sam Stephenson]
* Added support for SQL Server in the database rake tasks #1652 [Ken Barker] Note: osql and scptxfr may need to be installed on your development environment. This involves getting the .exes and a .rll (scptxfr) from a production SQL Server (not developer level SQL Server). Add their location to your Environment PATH and you are all set.
* Added a VERSION parameter to the migrate task that allows you to do "rake migrate VERSION=34" to migrate to the 34th version traveling up or down depending on the current version
* Add the option to manually manage garbage collection in the FastCGI dispatcher. Set the number of requests between GC runs in your public/dispatch.fcgi [Stefan Kaes]
* Allow dynamic application reloading for dispatch.fcgi processes by sending a SIGHUP. If the process is currently handling a request, the request will be allowed to complete first. This allows production fcgi's to be reloaded without having to restart them.
* RailsFCGIHandler (dispatch.fcgi) no longer tries to explicitly flush $stdout (CgiProcess#out always calls flush)
* ActionMailer::Base subclasses are reloaded with the other rails components #1262
* Made the WEBrick adapter not use a mutex around action performance if ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency is true (default is false)
* Fixed that mailer generator generated fixtures/plural while units expected fixtures/singular #1457 [Scott Barron]
* Added a 'whiny nil' that's aim to ensure that when users pass nil to methods where that isn't appropriate, instead of NoMethodError? and the name of some method used by the framework users will see a message explaining what type of object was expected. Only active in test and development environments by default #1209 [Michael Koziarski]
* Fixed the test_helper.rb to be safe for requiring controllers from multiple spots, like app/controllers/article_controller.rb and app/controllers/admin/article_controller.rb, without reloading the environment twice #1390 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fixed Webrick to escape + characters in URL's the same way that lighttpd and apache do #1397 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Modernize the scaffold generator to use the simplified render and test methods and to change style from @params["id"] to params[:id]. #1367
* Added graceful exit from pressing CTRL-C during the run of the rails command #1150 [Caleb Tennis]
* Allow graceful exits for dispatch.fcgi processes by sending a SIGUSR1. If the process is currently handling a request, the request will be allowed to complete and then will terminate itself. If a request is not being handled, the process is terminated immediately (via #exit). This basically works like restart graceful on Apache. [Jamis Buck]
* Made dispatch.fcgi more robust by catching fluke errors and retrying unless its a permanent condition. [Jamis Buck]
* Added console --profile for profiling an IRB session #1154 [Jeremy Kemper]
* Changed console_sandbox into console --sandbox #1154 [Jeremy Kemper]
*0.12.1* (20th April, 2005)
* Upgraded to Active Record 1.10.1, Action Pack 1.8.1, Action Mailer 0.9.1, Action Web Service 0.7.1
*0.12.0* (19th April, 2005)
* Fixed that purge_test_database would use database settings from the development environment when recreating the test database #1122 [rails@cogentdude.com]
* Added script/benchmarker to easily benchmark one or more statement a number of times from within the environment. Examples:
* Upgraded to Active Record 1.10.0, Action Pack 1.8.0, Action Mailer 0.9.0, Action Web Service 0.7.0, Active Support 1.0.4
*0.11.1* (27th March, 2005)
* Fixed the dispatch.fcgi use of a logger
* Upgraded to Active Record 1.9.1, Action Pack 1.7.0, Action Mailer 0.8.1, Action Web Service 0.6.2, Active Support 1.0.3
*0.11.0* (22th March, 2005)
* Removed SCRIPT_NAME from the WEBrick environment to prevent conflicts with PATH_INFO #896 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Removed ?$1 from the dispatch.f/cgi redirect line to get rid of 'complete/path/from/request.html' => nil being in the @params now that the ENV["REQUEST_URI"] is used to determine the path #895 [dblack/Nicholas Seckar]
* Added additional error handling to the FastCGI dispatcher to catch even errors taking down the entire process
* Combined the script/environment.rb used for gems and regular files version. If vendor/rails/* has all the frameworks, then files version is used, otherwise gems #878 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Changed .htaccess to allow dispatch.* to be called from a sub-directory as part of the push with Action Pack to make Rails work on non-vhost setups #826 [Nicholas Seckar/Tobias Lütke]
* Fixed that script/server -d was broken so daemon mode couldn't be used #687 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
* overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
=> breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
* untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
* added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
* less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
* ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
=> quiet exit on Ctrl-C
* Added support for independent components residing in /components. Example:
Controller: components/list/items_controller.rb
(holds a List::ItemsController class with uses_component_template_root called)
Model : components/list/item.rb
(namespace is still shared, so an Item model in app/models will take precedence)
Views : components/list/items/show.rhtml
* Added --sandbox option to script/console that'll roll back all changes made to the database when you quit #672 [Jeremy Kemper]
* Added 'recent' as a rake target that'll run tests for files that changed in the last 10 minutes #612 [Jeremy Kemper]
* Changed script/console to default to development environment and drop --no-inspect #650 [Jeremy Kemper]
* Added that the 'fixture :posts' syntax can be used for has_and_belongs_to_many fixtures where a model doesn't exist #572 [Jeremy Kemper]
* Added that running test_units and test_functional now performs the clone_structure_to_test as well #566 [rasputnik]
* Added new generator framework that informs about its doings on generation and enables updating and destruction of generated artifacts. See the new script/destroy and script/update for more details #487 [Jeremy Kemper]
* Added Action Web Service as a new add-on framework for Action Pack [Leon Bredt]
* Added Active Support as an independent utility and standard library extension bundle
* Upgraded to Active Record 1.7.0, Action Pack 1.5.0, Action Mailer 0.7.0
*0.9.5* (January 25th, 2005)
* Fixed dependency reloading by switching to a remove_const approach where all Active Records, Active Record Observers, and Action Controllers are reloading by undefining their classes. This enables you to remove methods in all three types and see the change reflected immediately and it fixes #539. This also means that only those three types of classes will benefit from the const_missing and reloading approach. If you want other classes (like some in lib/) to reload, you must use require_dependency to do it.
* Added Florian Gross' latest version of Breakpointer and friends that fixes a variaty of bugs #441 [Florian Gross]
* Fixed skeleton Rakefile to work with sqlite3 out of the box #521 [rasputnik]
* Fixed that script/breakpointer didn't get the Ruby path rewritten as the other scripts #523 [brandt@kurowski.net]
* Fixed handling of syntax errors in models that had already been succesfully required once in the current interpreter
* Fixed that models that weren't referenced in associations weren't being reloaded in the development mode by reinstating the reload
* Fixed that generate scaffold would produce bad functional tests
* Fixed that FCGI can also display SyntaxErrors
* Upgraded to Active Record 1.6.0, Action Pack 1.4.0
* Added that ApplicationController will catch a ControllerNotFound exception if someone attempts to access a url pointing to an unexisting controller [Tobias Lütke]
