Google Summer of Code 2014

Posted by Guillermo Iguaran, March 7, 2014 @ 4:40 pm in Jobs, Activism

We’re pleased to announce, Ruby on Rails has been accepted into Google Summer of Code 2014 as a mentoring organization. What does this mean to you? Potentially, if you’re the right person, you can get paid to work on Rails this summer! The “right person” in this case is one who is at least 18 years old (sorry, Google’s rule, not ours!) on or before April 21, 2014; a full or part-time college student; and passionate about improving Rails.

We’re building a potential list of project ideas on a GitHub wiki, but we welcome other interesting proposals. If your proposal gets accepted, Google will pay you $5500 over the course of three months to work on the code. If you’re interested, head over to the GSoC site and start reading about the process. Student applications can be submitted starting March 10 and the deadline is March 21.

If you’re wondering what’s involved in becoming a GSoC student then the Google Student Guide has all the details on what’s expected and what you will gain from taking part. Any further questions can be directed either to the mailing list or to me directly.

What if you’re not a student? You can still help out by discussing ideas on the special mailing list we’ve setup for this year’s program. Or if you’ve got previous experience of contributing to Rails and are ready to make a strong commitment to help out the next generation of developers, you can apply to be a mentor.

We’re looking forward to working with this year’s students, and expecting some outstanding contributions to Rails as a result!

Rails 4.1.0: Release candidate 1

Posted by dhh, February 18, 2014 @ 8:30 pm in Releases

We’re getting really close to signing off on Rails 4.1.0, but we need your help to push it the last mile. Today we’re putting out the first (and, with luck, only) release candidate of Rails 4.1.0. It would be swell if you would try it out and tell us where it breaks.

It’s already in really good shape (we’ve been running beta1 and forward in production for Basecamp for months), but still, let’s make it a shiny gemstone for release.

As a reminder, Yves and Godfrey have done such a splendid job putting together the release notes for 4.1 as a guide and Godfrey’s feature walk-through, so I won’t repeat them here. But you’re definitely in for a treat.

We have also now aimed rails/master at Rails 4.2.0, but there’s a new rails/4-1-stable branch to follow for this release series. And of course there’s the v4-1-0-rc1 tag for this particular release.

Enjoy!

Rails 4.1.0 beta1: Variants, Spring, mailer previews, JS CSRF, config/secrets.yml, Enums

Posted by dhh, December 18, 2013 @ 12:30 am in Releases

Hohoho, it’s Xmas time, kids! We have a beta full of goodies for everyone who’s been nice this year. Rails 4.1 is packed to the gills with more marvelous real-world feature extractions, bug fixes, and the tireless polish only a community full of Rails elves could bestow it with.

While this is just a beta release, it’s arguably a lot better tested and ready than most of our previous beta releases. The bulk of what’s new are legit bug fixes and additional features. Less shifting of the tectonic plates of the architecture this time around. This should hopefully mean relatively smooth sailing for anyone on 4.0 who wish to upgrade.

In fact, we’re already running beta1 in production for Basecamp, so you know it’s been taking a good beating. This helped us catch a couple of performance regressions, and we’ve verified that everything is still spiffy fast on Basecamp.

This new release also follows our new policy of targeting a minor release every six months. The idea being that the jump from minor to minor shouldn’t try to include everything under the sun. Just whatever is ready after the six month mark.

So there are already a laundry list of things lined up for 4.2, but that’s alright. We can target for that to land in another six months or so.

Yves and Godfrey have done such a splendid job putting together the release notes for 4.1 as a guide and Godfrey’s feature walk-through, so I won’t repeat them here. But you’re definitely in for a treat.

As always, please report any issues as a bug report on Github. If all goes well, we’ll try to have the final release out before the end of the year!

[ANN] Rails 4.0.1 has been released!

Posted by rafaelfranca, November 1, 2013 @ 12:00 am in Releases

Hi everyone,

I am happy to announce that Rails 4.0.1 has been released. This is a bug fix release and includes more than 460 commits.

This release comes up with an important change on how Active Record handles subsequent order calls. In Rails 4.0.0 when you do something like this:

User.order("name asc").order("created_at desc")

The latter called order will be prepended in the ORDER BY clause resulting on this SQL:

SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY created_at desc, name asc

In Rails 4.0.1 the behavior of Rails 3 has been restored and the generated ORDER BY clause looks like this:

SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY name asc, created_at desc

We chose to revert the behavior because it added a major backward incompatibility that made harder to have an upgrade path without major changes in the application code. Also we consider the older behavior a bug since it behaves differently from all the others scope methods when they are chained. So we took the most conservative path of reverting it to be consistent with the idea of having a smoother upgrade path to Rails 4.

For those who want the old behavior you can use .reorder or .unscope to remove the ORDER BY clause and generate another one.

Also, this release adds some performance improvements to make Rails 4 even faster.
