Hobo 0.8 Released
Posted by Tom | September 3, 2008 comments 2 Responses

I’ve just tagged v0.8 in the git repo, and released the 0.8 gems on rubyforge.

Enjoy!

Expect breaking changes as always (until we get to 1.0 of course), and expect more than normal, because this is a fairly big release.

I’ve created a page on the github wiki to collect advice for upgrading your existing apps. That page will grow over the next few days, but to get you started, here are the main things you definitely need to do.

First, Hobo in general:

Upgrade gem to 1.2 (you don’t have to do this but it’s so much faster)

$ gem update --system

Add the github gem server as a source (so you get will_paginate)

$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

Now you can upgrade Hobo

$ gem update hobo

Then, for your app:

You need to run some generators again. Be careful not to overwrite your code! The ‘d’ option to see the differences is useful. You might want (with the user model in particular) to just create a new blank Hobo app with the hobo command and compare the files manually. Run these generators:

  • hobo
  • hobo_rapid
  • hobo_user_model
  • hobo_front_controller

From there, go check out the page on the wiki

I’ll follow-up shortly (heh) with a post about what’s new in 0.8.

Hobo 0.7.5 released

Hobo 0.7.5 is a fairly small release in terms of new features, but does tidy up a few things and fixes some bugs that were causing people trouble. The bigger news is that there’s a whole bunch of new documentation now available.

Hobo 0.7.2 released

This release is mainly about fixes – problems recently reported in the forums with the migration generator and validation error pages have been fixed. Of course we sneaked in a bunch of new features too, and James has been busy making the Clean theme even nicer.

Triple Christmas Present

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.
