Update

You may have noticed I’ve been a little quiet of late—both on the blog and the forums. It’s end-of-project syndrome. We’re just coming to the end of the final delivery in the first major client project built on top of Hobo. Deadlines are hard work!

Here’s a bit of an update about what’s been going on with Hobo recently.

Go get scope_out - it should be in core!

The scope_out plugin is such a great extension to ActiveRecord I can’t imagine any non-trivial app not benefiting from it.

I have just two reservations: I would have thought it could be named better (OK that’s a niggle), and the customised with_scope methods it creates (e.g. with_active), should really be protected. Why? See this thread.
