root/trunk/railties/CHANGELOG

*SVN*

* Don't require rails/gem_builder during rails initialization, it's only needed for the gems:build task. [rick]

* script/performance/profiler compatibility with the ruby-prof >= 0.5.0. Closes #9176. [Catfish]

* 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]

* Add Rails.logger, Rails.root, Rails.env and Rails.cache shortcuts for RAILS_* constants [pratik]

* Allow files in plugins to be reloaded like the rest of the application.  [rick]

  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]

  # 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]

  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) [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]

* Added that gems can now be plugins if they include rails/init.rb #11444 [jbarnette]

* Added Plugin#about method to programmatically access the about.yml in a plugin #10979 [lazyatom]

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

* Improve documentation. [Radar, Jan De Poorter, chuyeow, xaviershay, danger, miloops, Xavier Noria,  Sunny Ripert]

* Add config.time_zone for configuring the default Time.zone value.  #10982 [Geoff Buesing]

* Added support for installing plugins hosted at git repositories #11294 [danger]

* 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]

* 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) [DHH]

* 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]

*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" [DHH]

* 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) [DHH]

* 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]

* 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 [DHH]

* Ensure the plugin loader only loads plugins once.  Closes #10102 [haruki_zaemon]

* Fixed incorrect migration number if script/generate executed outside of Rails root #7080 [jeremymcanally]

* 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 TÀnav]

* 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 [DHH]

* 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]

* 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 [DHH]. (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 [DHH]

* Added --skip-fixture option to script/generate model #6862 [sandofsky]

* Print Rails version when starting console #7440 [eyematz]

* Fixed that rake doc:app should use UTF-8 #8906 [farzy]

* Fixes rake annotations to search erb and builder files as well #9150 [m.langenberg]

* Removed web_service generator [Koz]

* Added the :all option to config.plugins that'll include the rest of the plugins not already explicitly named #9613 [Frederick Cheung]. Example:

    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 [DHH]

* Support multiple config.after_initialize blocks so plugins and apps can more easily cooperate.  #9582 [zdennis]

* Added db:drop:all to drop all databases declared in config/database.yml [DHH]

* 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 [kampers]

* 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 [zenspider]

* 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]

* 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 [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]

  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 [DHH] 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 [jeremymcanally]

* 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 [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]

* For new apps, generate a random secret for the cookie-based session store.  [Jeremy Kemper]

* Stop swallowing errors during rake test [Koz]

* Update Rails Initializer to use ActionController::Base#view_paths [Rick]

* 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]
  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'. [Koz, 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) [DHH]

* 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) [DHH]

* Fixed that script/server running against Mongrel should tail the proper log regardless of the environment [DHH]

* 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) [DHH]

* Made RAILS_GEM_VERSION work for beta gems too, so specifying 1.1.6 will give you 1.1.6.4520 if available [DHH]

* Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. [Thomas Fuchs]

* Made script/server work with -e and -d when using Mongrel [DHH]

* 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 Luetke]

* 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]

* Revert environment changes for autoload_paths. [Koz]

* 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]

* Clean up the output of rake stats,  de-emphasise components and apis, and remove the indents for tests [Koz]

* Added option to script/process/spawner of specifying the binding address #5133 [zsombor]

* Update environment.rb comments to include config.autoload_paths. Closes #6478 [caio]

* Update scaffold to use new form_tag block functionality.  Closes #6480. [BobSilva]

* Plugin generator: check for class collisions.  #4833 [vinbarnes@gmail.com]

* Mailer generator: handle mailers in modules, set mime_version in unit test.  [Jeremy Kemper]

* Set $KCODE to 'u' by default to enable the multibyte safe String#chars proxy. [Koz]

* Added config.plugins to control which plugins are loaded #6269 [skaes]. By default, everything in vendor/plugins will be loaded, but if you specify config.plugins, only those will be loaded. Example:

    config.plugins = %w[ routing_navigator simply_helpful ]

* Clean up html on included error pages. [Tim Lucas]

* Fixed default 404.html and 500.htmls to remove extreme ugliness and include human language [DHH]

* Update to latest Prototype and script.aculo.us trunk versions [Thomas Fuchs]

* PostgreSQL: db:test:purge closes open database connections first.  #6236 [alex]

* Fixed test:uncommitted on Windows (backslash issue) #4999 [paul@paulbutcher.com]

* Fixed migration creation to work with namespaced models, so script/generate model Gallery::Image will use create_table :gallery_images #6327 [BobSilva]

* Fixed rename_table on SQLite tables with indexes defined #5942 [brandon@opensoul.org]

* Added default timeout setting of 5 seconds to SQLite3 database.yml configurations [DHH]

* Added generated attribute options to script/generate model, like the one found in scaffold_resource and resource [DHH]. Examples:

    ./script/generate model post title:string created_on:date body:text published:boolean

* Added script/generate resource which works just like scaffold_resource, but creates empty placeholders instead of predefined [DHH]

* script/runner can run files, pass on arguments, and be used as a shebang.  #6286 [Tuxie, dlpond]
    #!/usr/bin/env /path/to/my/app/script/runner
    # Example: just start using your models as if you are in script/console
    Product.find(:all).each { |product| product.check_inventory }

* Look for rake tasks in plugin subdirs.  #6259 [obrie]

* Added map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' as a default route to config/routes.rb [DHH]

* Updated prototype.js to 1.5.0_rc1 with latest fixes. [Rick Olson]

  - XPATH support
  - Make Form.getElements() return elements in the correct order
  - fix broken Form.serialize return

* session_migration generator adds an index on updated_at.  #6207 [grg]

* script/server creates the tmp/pids directory.  #6204 [jonathan]

* Fix script/console --sandbox for internal transactions changes.  #5738 [chris@octopod.info, charles.gerungan@gmail.com]

* 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
documented in initializer.rb, the workaround is:
  
  config.autoload_paths += Dir[RAILS_ROOT + '/app/models/*/']
  
References #6031. [Nicholas Seckar]

* Update to script.aculo.us 1.6.3 [Thomas Fuchs]

* Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc1 [sam]

* Formally Deprecate the old rake tasks. [Koz]

* Thoroughly test the FCGI dispatcher.  #5970 [Kevin Clark]

* Cleaning up tests. [Kevin Clark, Jeremy Kemper]

* Add Dependencies.load_once_paths. [Nicholas Seckar]

* Updated to script.aculo.us 1.6.2 [Thomas Fuchs]

* 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]

* Clarify usage of script/plugin source. Closes #5344. [james.adam@gmail.com]

* Add Dispatcher.to_prepare and config.to_prepare to provide a pre-request hook. [Nicholas Seckar]

* Tweak the Rails load order so observers are loaded after plugins, and reloaded in development mode. Closed #5279.  [Rick Olson]

* Added that you can change the web server port in config/lighttpd.conf from script/server --port/-p #5465 [mats@imediatec.co.uk]

* script/performance/profiler compatibility with the new ruby-prof, including an option to choose the results printer.  #5679 [shugo@ruby-lang.org]

* Fixed the failsafe response so it uses either the current recognized controller or ApplicationController.  [Rick Olson]

* Ensure the logger is initialized. #5629 [mike@clarkware.com]

* Added Mongrel-spawning capabilities to script/process/spawner. Mongrel will be the default choice if installed, otherwise FCGI is tried [DHH]. 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:

    irb(#<TopController:0x40822a68>):002:0> show_source_list
    0001  class TopController < ApplicationController
    0002    def show
    0003->    breakpoint
    0004    end
    0005    
    0006    def index
    0007    end
    0008    
    => "/path/to/rails/root/app/controllers/top_controller.rb"

    irb(#<TopController:0x40822a68>):004:0> show_call_stack 3
    vendor/rails/railties/lib/breakpoint.rb:536:in `breakpoint'
    vendor/rails/railties/lib/breakpoint.rb:536:in `breakpoint'
    app/controllers/top_controller.rb:3:in `show'
    => "/path/to/rails/root/app/controllers/top_controller.rb:3"

* Generate scaffold layout in subdirectory appropriate to its module nesting. #5511 [nils@alumni.rice.edu]

* Don't assume Active Record is available. #5497 [bob@sporkmonger.com]

* Mongrel: script/server works on Win32. #5499 [jeremydurham@gmail.com]

* 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]

* Added lib/ to the directories that will get application docs generated [DHH]

* Session migration generator obeys pluralize_table_names. #5145 [james.adam@gmail.com]

* rake test:recent understands subdirectories. #2925 [jerrett@bravenet.com]

* 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]

* Distinguish the spawners for different processes [DHH]

* Added -n/--process to script/process/spawner name the process pid (default is dispatch) [DHH]

* Added script/process/inspector to do simple process status information on Rails dispatchers keeping pid files in tmp/pids [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]


*1.2.3* (March 12th, 2007)

* Ruby 1.8.6 compatibility

* Windows: include MinGW in RUBY_PLATFORM check.  #2982 [okkez000@gmail.com, Kaspar Schiess]

* Stop swallowing errors during rake test [Koz]


*1.2.2* (February 5th, 2007)

* Fix gem deprecation warnings, which also means depending on RubyGems 0.9.0+ [Chad Fowler]

* Require the dispatcher for Rails::Configuration#to_prepare.  [Rick]


*1.2.1* (January 16th, 2007)

* Updated to Active Record 1.15.1, Action Pack 1.13.1, Action Mailer 1.3.1, Action Web Service 1.2.1


*1.2.0* (January 16th, 2007)

* 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]
  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]

* 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) [DHH]

* Deprecated the name route "root" as it'll be used as a shortcut for map.connect '' in Rails 2.0 [DHH]

* Fixed that script/server running against Mongrel should tail the proper log regardless of the environment [DHH]

* 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) [DHH]

* Made RAILS_GEM_VERSION work for beta gems too, so specifying 1.1.6 will give you 1.1.6.4520 if available [DHH]

* Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. [Sam Stephenson, Thomas Fuchs]

* Made script/server work with -e and -d when using Mongrel [DHH]

* Make sure that exceptions which are thrown outside of the user code try their best to be handeled in ApplicationController#rescue_action [Tobias Luetke]

* Rails::VERSION::STRING should always be available without having to require 'rails/version'.  #6244 [fearoffish]

* 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]

* 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]

* Update environment.rb comments to include config.autoload_paths. Closes #6478 [caio]

* Update scaffold to use new form_tag block functionality.  Closes #6480. [BobSilva]

* Plugin generator: check for class collisions.  #4833 [vinbarnes@gmail.com]

* Mailer generator: handle mailers in modules, set mime_version in unit test.  [Jeremy Kemper]

* Set $KCODE to 'u' by default to enable the multibyte safe String#chars proxy. [Koz]

* Added config.plugins to control which plugins are loaded #6269 [skaes]. By default, everything in vendor/plugins will be loaded, but if you specify config.plugins, only those will be loaded. Example:

    config.plugins = %w[ routing_navigator simply_helpful ]

* Clean up html on included error pages. [Tim Lucas]

* Fixed default 404.html and 500.htmls to remove extreme ugliness and include human language [DHH]

* Update to latest Prototype and script.aculo.us trunk versions [Thomas Fuchs]

* PostgreSQL: db:test:purge closes open database connections first.  #6236 [alex]

* Fixed test:uncommitted on Windows (backslash issue) #4999 [paul@paulbutcher.com]

* Fixed migration creation to work with namespaced models, so script/generate model Gallery::Image will use create_table :gallery_images #6327 [BobSilva]

* Fixed rename_table on SQLite tables with indexes defined #5942 [brandon@opensoul.org]

* Added default timeout setting of 5 seconds to SQLite3 database.yml configurations [DHH]

* Added generated attribute options to script/generate model, like the one found in scaffold_resource and resource [DHH]. Examples:

    ./script/generate model post title:string created_on:date body:text published:boolean

* Added script/generate resource which works just like scaffold_resource, but creates empty placeholders instead of predefined [DHH]

* script/runner can run files, pass on arguments, and be used as a shebang.  #6286 [Tuxie, dlpond]
    #!/usr/bin/env /path/to/my/app/script/runner
    # Example: just start using your models as if you are in script/console
    Product.find(:all).each { |product| product.check_inventory }

* Look for rake tasks in plugin subdirs.  #6259 [obrie]

* Added map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' as a default route to config/routes.rb [DHH]

* session_migration generator adds an index on updated_at.  #6207 [grg]

* script/server creates the tmp/pids directory.  #6204 [jonathan]

* Fix script/console --sandbox for internal transactions changes.  #5738 [chris@octopod.info, charles.gerungan@gmail.com]

* 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
documented in initializer.rb, the workaround is:
  
  config.autoload_paths += Dir[RAILS_ROOT + '/app/models/*/']
  
References #6031. [Nicholas Seckar]

* Update to script.aculo.us 1.6.3 [Thomas Fuchs]

* Formally Deprecate the old rake tasks. [Koz]

* Thoroughly test the FCGI dispatcher.  #5970 [Kevin Clark]

* Remove Dir.chdir in the Webrick DispatchServlet#initialize method.  Fix bad path errors when trying to load config/routes.rb.  [Rick Olson]

* Tighten rescue clauses.  #5985 [james@grayproductions.net]

* Cleaning up tests. [Kevin Clark, Jeremy Kemper]

* Add Dependencies.load_once_paths. [Nicholas Seckar]

* 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]

* Clarify usage of script/plugin source. Closes #5344. [james.adam@gmail.com]

* Added that you can change the web server port in config/lighttpd.conf from script/server --port/-p #5465 [mats@imediatec.co.uk]

* script/performance/profiler compatibility with the new ruby-prof, including an option to choose the results printer.  #5679 [shugo@ruby-lang.org]

* Fixed the failsafe response so it uses either the current recognized controller or ApplicationController.  [Rick Olson]

* Make sure script/reaper only reaps dispatcher pids by default, and not the spawner's pid. [Jamis Buck]

* Fix script/plugin about so it uses about.yml and not meta.yml.  [James Adam]

* Dispatcher processes rescued actions with the same controller that processed the request. #4625 [sd@notso.net]

* rails -d frontbase to create a new project with a frontbase database.yml. #4945 [mlaster@metavillage.com]

* Ensure the logger is initialized. #5629 [mike@clarkware.com]

* Added Mongrel-spawning capabilities to script/process/spawner. Mongrel will be the default choice if installed, otherwise FCGI is tried [DHH]. 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:

    irb(#<TopController:0x40822a68>):002:0> show_source_list
    0001  class TopController < ApplicationController
    0002    def show
    0003->    breakpoint
    0004    end
    0005    
    0006    def index
    0007    end
    0008    
    => "/path/to/rails/root/app/controllers/top_controller.rb"

    irb(#<TopController:0x40822a68>):004:0> show_call_stack 3

* Updated to Action Pack 1.12.3, ActionWebService 1.1.4, ActionMailer 1.2.3


*1.1.3* (June 27th, 2006)

* Updated to Active Record 1.14.3, Action Pack 1.12.2, ActionWebService 1.1.3, ActionMailer 1.2.2

* Install alias so Rails::InfoController is accessible at /rails_info. Closes #4546. [Nicholas Seckar]

* Fixed that spawner should daemonize if running in repeat mode [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]

* Applied Prototype $() performance patches (#4465, #4477) and updated script.aculo.us [Sam Stephenson, Thomas Fuchs]

* 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

* 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 [DHH]

* Added socket cleanup for lighttpd, both before and after [DHH]

* Added automatic creation of tmp/ when running script/server [DHH]

* Added silence_stream that'll work on both STDERR or STDOUT or any other stream and deprecated silence_stderr in the process [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]

* Added fix for upload problems with lighttpd from Safari/IE to config/lighttpd.conf #3999 [thijs@fngtps.com]

* Added test:uncommitted to test changes since last checkin to Subversion #4035 [technomancy@gmail.com]

* Add 'app' accessor to script/console as an instance of Integration::Session [Jamis Buck]

* Generator::Base#usage takes an optional message argument which defaults to Generator::Base#usage_message. [Jeremy Kemper]

* 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 [DHH]

* 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! [DHH]

* 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 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 [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]

* 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) [DHH]

* Added tmp/sessions, tmp/cache, and tmp/sockets as default directories in the Rails skeleton [DHH] 

* 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 [DHH]

* 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 [DHH]

* Allow script/server -c /path/to/lighttpd.conf [Jeremy Kemper]

* Remove hardcoded path to reaper script in script/server [Jeremy Kemper]
