Riding Rails: Rails 1.2: REST admiration, HTTP lovefest, and UTF-8 celebrations
Riding Rails: Rails 1.2: REST admiration, HTTP lovefest, and UTF-8 celebrations Get out your party balloons and funny hats because we’re there, baby. Yes, sire, Rails 1.2 is finally available in all it’s glory. It took a little longer than we initially anticipated to get everything lined up (and even then we had a tiny snag that bumped us straight from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 before this announcement even had time to be written).
So hopefully it’s been worth the wait. Who am I kidding. Of course it’s been worth the wait. We got the RESTful flavor with new encouragement for resource-oriented architectures. We’re taking mime types, HTTP status codes, and multiple representations of the same resource serious. And of course there’s the international pizzazz of multibyte-safe UTF-8 wrangling.
