Hobo - the web application builder for Rails

0.6.3 - Following up
Posted by Tom | November 14, 2007 One Response

Oops — forgot to mention that Hobo 0.6.3 requires Rails 2.0 RC1

To freeze:

rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_2-0-0_RC1

If you want to use the hobo command, or if you don’t like freezing Rails, you’ll need the 2.0RC1 gems:

gem update rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org -y

Also note that Hobo 0.6.3 has a new version of lowpro.js that needs Prototype 1.6 (Rails is on Prototype 1.6 now). You might need a

rake rails:update:javascripts

There may be a few bugs related to the switch to Prototype 1.6. These can slip through because most of our tests are in applications that have not been upgraded to Prototype 1.6 yet. Stay tuned.

OK finally got it out there. Hobo 0.6.3 is mainly a whole load of small improvements. There are many breaking changes as always. Here’s a quick heads up on some things to watch out for:

0.6.3 not quite there

It turns out that some of the changes in 0.6.3 have totally broken the “out of the box” Hobo app (which TBH is something we don’t look at very much over here). It’s getting into a better shape now — hopefully tomorrow ™

Coming up for air

The big app we’ve been working on over here is finally calming down. Not finished as such, but close enough that we can start to give some attention to the hundred other things we’ve got on the go, like… Hobo!
