Hobo 0.8.6 Released!
Posted by Bryan Larsen | May 14, 2009 7 Responses comments

We’re pleased to announce the release of Hobo 0.8.6.

Hobo 0.8.6 includes Rails 2.3 support.  Rails 2.2 support has been maintained.   Rails 2.1 support was dropped in 0.8.5.

Significant effort was put into unit and integration tests in this release.

Some small changes were made to item order and positioning to fix bugs with IE6. This may require updates in custom stylesheets.  The most likely problem is the positioning of <account-nav>.

Previously, the lifecycle transitions had a parameter called :params in the documentation and :update in the code.  The code has been updated to match the documentation.

Support for big_integer in HoboFields has been dropped.  It appears that this has never worked correctly.

<input-many> is now a polymorphic tag and the default tag for <has_many> inputs.

The content parameter has been renamed to description for generated cards.

<input-many> and <sortable-collection> have been improved.

Many tags have had parameters and attributes added to improve customization.

Many bugs have been fixed.  See the lighthouse or the git commit history for more details.

0.8.6 is a release candidate for Hobo 1.0.  At this point we do not believe that there are any outstanding bugs on Hobo that do not have workarounds.   The lighthouse shows the remaining tickets scheduled for 1.0

Again, I forgot to mention where to get the update.

The gem has been pushed to rubyforge, so a gem install hobo should install version 0.8.6. You may have to wait a day or so for rubyforge to catch up.

For the impatient, you can install from github: gem install tablatom-hobo after gem sources -a http://gems.github.com.

As always, the source is on github.

As some of you’ve noticed by now, I forgot to refresh the manifest before releasing 0.8.6. I’ve pushed a 0.8.7 to github but we’ll have to wait for Tom to push it to Rubyforge.

And it turns out that github won’t automatically build the gem — Hobo is actually three gems and it doesn’t understand that.

Tested a complete install of Hobo 0.8.7 on Windows XP starting with Ruby, then adding Rails 2.3.2 etc. Worked fine!

Thanks,

Owen
