Rails 1.2: Release Candidate 2
Posted by David January 05, 2007 @ 04:12 AM
This is it. We’re a mere two shakes of a lamb’s tail from releasing the final version of Rails 1.2. But before we light the fireworks and pop the champagne, we’ll just do one itsy, bitsy, tiny test run. Like wearing protection glasses in downtown Copenhagen on New Year’s. You know, just for precautions.
So please do give it a good run. We’re looking for STOP THE BOAT and HOLD THE PRESSES kind of issues for this one. Nothing else will stop it (but please do report every thing you find any way).
For a reminder on how to install and what’s new, see the release notes for Release Candidate 1. We also did a series of highlights for Active Record, Action Pack, and Active Support. Read those and hold your breath in anticipation. Unless a surge of heinous issues appear, we’re expecting the final version to land some times next week.
Yay, hurray!
Are there plans for, erm, more “frequent” largish releases?
Is there a tag? I only see the RC1 tag in svn.
TonyC, probably not. The next big release will be 2.0, so I wouldn’t expect that for another six months at the earliest. But thankfully the edge is very easy to use these days and much of the big-release developments premiere in plugins first.
Masterleep, rel_1-2-0_RC2 is now available. Thanks for the reminder.
ERROR: While executing gem … (RuntimeError) No metadata found!
when i use gem install rails—source http://gems.rubyonrails.org—include-dependencies
Can I request champagne instead? :P
Is there a changelog for this new release? Congrats on getting closer to 1.2 Final.
Thanks for the milestone. RC1 was pretty solid. Will get RC2 tested and look forward to the final 1.2!
coolmenu: use gem update rails instead.

thanks for help Keep up the good work. Greetings
Sadly the SQL Server adapter keeps getting ignored. Try naming a table Order or User, and setting the table name in the model to “[User]” or “[Order]”. This was reported as a bug and fixed with a patch that was never committed.
Great! So, stupid question… where can I get it? Download page only goes to 1.1.16; and running a “gem list rails -r” only shows up to 1.1.16 as well. Thanks.
oy, I meant 1.1.6 (not 1.1.16 ;-)
Hello,
Unfortunately it looks like in_place_edit_for is still broken when submitting to an URL that has GET parameters. The “&” sign is encoded twice.
@Skeeterbug – Why would you use SQL reserved words for table names? That’s just bad pratice.
Really? We havn’t had a problem with any of the .NET clients that are connected to this schema. Yeah it should be changed, but it can’t. However, there was a patch submitted to fix this issue (others ran into it as well), but it wasn’t committed. Thanks for trying to dodge the real issue.
Oh, try to create an image column in MS SQL and try to give it binary data greater than 16k in length, you will be out of luck. This is another issue reported a LONG time ago but never fixed (along with another bug that corrupts the binary data). I guess this is bad practice too huh?
render_to_string() is still broken. The ticket I send many months ago was never closed. :(
No chance getting the non-working expemt_from_layout bug hammered out?
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6742
It was touted as a feature of RC1, but as of now it still doesn’t work.
I tried to send the following message to the http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk mailing list 4 hours ago but it never appears … Is there a moderator in the list to prevent spammers?
I have been evaluating the excellent and super fast Similarity Analyser by Red Hill Consulting to generate a dupplicated lines reports from Rails 1.2.0 RC2 source code (excluding the tests).
On the 10th of January 2007, Rails 1.2.0 RC2 has 4125 duplicate lines in 793 blocks in 231 files
Detailled reports on http://21croissants.blogspot.com/2007/01/rails-120-rc2-dupplicated-lines-simian.html
Now the debate is opened about what to do with these reports !!!
Still having problems with gettext (for localization). I’m using version 1.8.0 of the gem, and when I try to run the rake tasks for creating PO files described at the author’s site:
http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/105
I get the following error:
uninitialized constant ActiveRecord::VERSION
Not sure where to start, google hasn’t been of much help (yet).
Update to my post regarding duplicate lines.
I still can’t publish to the google groups! (rails-talk or rails-core)
I have written some code to generate an html report with links to the track source code browser (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/branches/1-2-pre-release/) for each duplicate block.

I got Rails 1.2.0 when I tried to “gem install rails—include-dependencies”
