At long last, Hobo 1.3 is released.
The big news in 1.3, as most of you will know, is Rails 3 support. There are a bunch of other improvements as well. Read the details here:
http://cookbook.hobocentral.net/manual/changes
To get Hobo 1.3 just gem update hobo.
The work behind Hobo 1.3 is mostly thanks to Domizio Demichelis, and as always Bryan Larsen and Matt Jones have made some great contributions. Thanks guys, and thanks to everyone in the Hobo community for your part, even if it’s just being there on the forum for newcomers. And of course thanks to Owen Dall and Barquin International for their continued sponsorship, without which we wouldn’t have got here.
We would like to have released Hobo 1.3 much sooner, so apologies that it has taken so long. Work has already begun on Hobo 1.4 and Rails 3.1 compatibility.

After a ton of work from Domizio and the rest of the team, we are finally ready with a Hobo 1.3 (aka Hobo for Rails 3) release candidate!
You can install the release candidate with
gem install hobo -v 1.3.0.RC
In addition to Rails 3 support there are a ton of improvements to Hobo in this release. We have a new routing system where you can see all the generated routes in config/hobo_routes.rb. There is the new app-creation wizard to get you started even more easily with new projects. There are also many improvements internally, especially in the way Hobo interfaces with Rails, which will make it much easier to keep Hobo compatible with new versions of Rails.
We’ll be letting you know more about the improvements in Hobo 1.3 in some forthcoming blog posts.

Anyone wanting to have a play with Hobo + Rails 3, now is the moment!
We have started releasing some pre-release gems, so that anyone who wants to can help us find any last bugs so that we can release Hobo 1.3 final. You can install the latest pre-release with
gem install hobo --pre

Update: I should of known better than to post this late at night. Now improved with actual working instructions!
Folks, thanks to Domizio’s great work, HoboFields is ready to try out with Rails 3. Here’s a quick guide to getting it installed and running the migration generator. You’ll need git to grab the latest code, as nothing has been released as a gem, but apart from that you won’t have to do anything too technical. Please note, Rails 3 RC2 just dropped today, but right now we’re still on RC1, so please make sure you have that version of Rails installed if you want to try this out.
