Ruby on Rails 1.1 has been released. This is a much anticipated release that touts many new features and a ton of bug fixes, 500+ I hear. Some of the major updates include:

  • Ajax is easier with RJS, JavaScript in Ruby
  • ActiveRecord – many new features including join models
  • Third testing layer – integration, which allows for simulation of multiple concurrent users

Scott Raymond has a complete and thorough list here of 1.1 new features.

I ran and update this morning to my Rails installation using gem update rails and tested the small apps I have running and all worked great. I am sure for more complex applications that you want a real deployment plan.
