We're proud to announce the release of Hobo 2.0.0. ## Major New Features
* All Javascript code has been completely rewritten. prototype.js is no longer required or supported. We now depend on jQuery and either jQuery-UI or Bootstrap. * Theming support has been extensively updated. New themes are much easier to write, and multiple themes per application are supported. * The default theme has been changed to a Bootstrap based theme. * Support added for the techniques mentioned in this blog post: [How Basecamp Next got to be so damn fast without using much client-side UI](http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3112-how-basecamp-next-got-to-be-so-damn-fast-without-using-much-client-side-ui) including two mechanisms for pushState based AJAX and two mechanisms for intelligent hierarchical fragment caching. * several additional tags have gained AJAX support. This includes, but is not limited to `<a>`, `<filter-menu>` and `<page-nav>`. * all tags now use the standard Hobo AJAX support mechanism, which used to be known as Hobo form AJAX. The editor tags in particular have changed substantially. * new tags: nested-cache, swept-cache, live-editor, click-editor, formlet, hot-input, feckless-fieldset, accordion, accordion-collection, autocomplete, combobox, datepicker, dialog-box, tabs and more. * plugins are now based on the Rails asset pipeline. Available plugins include `hobo_jquery_ui`, `hobo_boostrap_ui`, `hobo_paperclip`, `hobo_omniauth`, `hobo_data_tables`, `hobo_tokeninput`, `hobo_simple_color`, `hobo_tree_table`, `hobo_mapstraction`. Rails, jQuery and Bootstrap plugins can also generally be easily used. * Rails 3.2 is required, 3.2.12 or greater is strongly recommended. * many other fixes and updates. See [CHANGES](http://hobocentral.net/manual/changes20) for more detailed information. ## Installation * [Download and Installation Instructions](/manual/download) * [Upgrade Instructions](/manual/changes20#updating-a-hobo-13-application) * [Upgrade Tutorial](/tutorials/upgrade) ## Regressions See [CHANGES](http://hobocentral.net/manual/changes20#changes-from-hobo-13--hobo-jquery-13) ## Changes from Hobo 2.0.0.pre10 HoboSupport's patches to Chronic have been removed due to incompatibility with Ruby 2.0.0. ## Supported Rubies Hobo 2.0.0 has been tested against 1.8.7-p371, 1.9.3-p374, 2.0.0-p0 and JRuby 1.7.2. ## Rails 4 Support [Work has started on Rails 4.0 support for Hobo](https://github.com/hobo/hobo/tree/rails4). No other major features are planned for the next release of Hobo, so we do not expect it to lag too far behind the release of Rails 4.0. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
