Triple Christmas Present
Posted by Tom | December 23, 2007 11 Responses comments

There is a lot to tell you about. I could blog on and on. In fact I intended to. But you know what, I’m supposed to be on holiday! So, I’ll cut straight to the chase and get off this computer :-)

For your hobo-ing pleasure there are three new goodies today, and I’m finally making good on my “Docs Month” promise (December is docs month!). The more I put time into documenting Hobo the more I realise what a huge task it is to produce in-depth documentation. But the beginnings are in place.

Please see the docs page for:

  • The new Hobo tutorial!
  • The source-code to beta.hobocentral.net!

Both, of course, are at an early stage.

And, just in case two christmas presents are not enough, Hobo 0.7.1 is out. Hobo 0.7.1 features the new Clean theme as the default along with hugely improved default pages and much more besides. The out-of-the-box Hobo app with no work at all in the view layer is starting to look really good.

So go gem update hobo or svn up your plugin directory, and don’t forget to read the changelog

Happy Christmas! See you next year.

This is great progress. Thanks again for all your hard work. Hobo makes development much more enjoyable.

I have been checking out beta.hobocentral.net. It’s very useful and interesting - it shows off Hobo operations quite well.

I do have this question: Where is the welcome message (”This site has been created as an open-source example of creating an app using the Hobo framework. It’s at a very early stage at the moment, and, as you have probably noticed, there’s not a lot of data! The source code to this app is available here”) defined?

Thanks.

Unfortunately with the release of Rails 2.0.2, it’s change of defaults break project generation with the Hobo 0.7.1 gem.

Great. Thank you! :-)

“Like everything in Hobo, the tutorial is very much a work in progress. At the moment it ends a bit abruptly just as things start to get interesting with DRYML.”

Now don’t let us wait long for the continuation…

hachaboob - I’m not seeing any problems with Rails 2.0.2. Can you post more details?
