Go grab Hobo 0.8.8 : )

Actually I only just published the gems so don’t forget that Rubyforge takes a while to get its act together.

I’m really posting this on behalf of Bryan who’s done pretty much all the work in this release - thanks Bryan! And thanks to Owen and the guys at Barquin for their continued support.

This release is mostly bug fixes. The low-down, as usual, is in the changelog

Oh one more thing. We liked the fresh new look in the previous post so much that it’s now the Hobo default. (that doesn’t mean you need ImageMagick, we just included the generated PNG files in the Clean theme)

Enjoy!

Hobo 0.8.5 - bugfix release

I’ve just released Hobo 0.8.5. There was a problem with running Hobo as a gem which slipped into the short-lived 0.8.4 release. A few more fixes made it in to this release too, mostly in the new permissions system.

See the changes for the details. As always, remember that Rubyforge takes a good while to catch up, so gem update hobo might not work for a while. You can download the gem files from Rubyforge manually though.

That’s pretty much me done for the year — I’m taking some time off now. And what a year it’s been. Progress has accelerated dramatically since our sponsors Barquin International came on board. We wouldn’t be remotely close to where we are now, especially in terms of documentation, without their support. So I’d like to say a very big thank you to Owen and the team over at Barquin.

It feels like we’re in great shape for a very exciting 2009 with Hobo. Just in time for the meltdown of the entire global economy. Heh - you win some you lose some : )

Hobo 0.8.4 is out of the door. Score! Could you ask for more? Rest assured there is plenty more in store.

In addition to the usual slew of small improvements, the main features of this release are:

  • Completely new and much improved permission system
  • Not completely new but much improved lifecycles
  • The beginnings of a new “View Hints” system — a place to declare things that don’t belong in the model, but help Rapid create the right UI.

Yes those two links are to detailed documentation - wonders will never cease!

Please note that Hobo 0.8.4 requires Rails 2.2.2.See the changes for the details. Please remember that Rubyforge takes a good while to get with the program, so gem update hobo might not work for a while. You can download the gem files from Rubyforge manually though.In other news the Hobo Cookbook continues to outgrow its name and is now the home of the Agility tutorial.

Enjoy!
