Hobo 0.7 released

Update:

I said you can pass CSS=y to the rake hobo:fixdryml task to instruct the script to ‘dasherize’ CSS class names. That should have been CLASS=y.

Hobo 0.7 is now available, both as a gem on rubyforge, and in via the repo trunk.

Template tags and non-template tags are now unified. This is really a huge improvement to DRYML. We’ve also switched to dashes instead of underscores for tag and attribute names.

Got any existing DRYML code? It doesn’t work any more. At all :-)

Fortunately, happiness is only a rake task away:

rake hobo:fixdryml

From the changelog:

We’ve switched to Rails 2.0 RC2 for our testing. Be warned - there’s a breaking change in Rails that might absorb some of your time as it did mine. It’s a change to fixtures - the default if you don’t give a value for a created_at or updated_at field, is now Time.now. It used to be nil like any other field.

There’s now only one significant feature that I want to add — fixing themes and CSS — before the push to 1.0 begins.

But before that, next up is beta.hobocentral.net!

Woho! Great work guys! :)

I love hobo! ..but you already know that.

Awesome! You are on a roll. Can’t wait to see beta.hobocentral.net. That will make a HUGE impact.

Is there any way the community could help out with beta.HC.net?

How is the beta site coming along? I cannot wait :) will be having a long hobo coding effort between Christmas and new year to get some websites done, I think Hobo looks great!

I am anxious to hear about the progress as well. I will be at the in-laws over Christmas…a good time to work on a new website :)
