Dear list,
This weeks RCW has a slightly different format than before. After all, since what we want is less bloat, this RCW is less verbose. Please do let me know what you think off-list. *Interesting stuff on the Rails Timeline* _Fixed and commited to trunk:_ An issue with not null columns in SQLite3 migrations(<a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5215";>#4419</a>) by Greg Lappen's patch <a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5215";>5215</a> _Cool Enhancements (not commited yet)_ An enhancement to Marcel Molina Jr.'s original <a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/3118";>Symbol#to_proc</a> is further enhanced by by <a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5295";>Nobuhiro Imai</a>. Symbol#to_proc does: <pre> {1 => "one", 2 => "two", 3 => "three"}.sort_by(&:first).map(&:last) #=> ["one", "two", "three"] </pre> (Earlier <a href="http://blogs.pragprog.com/cgi-bin/pragdave.cgi/Tech/Ruby/ToProc.rdoc";>PragDave</a> called this "... an incredibly elegant use of coercion and of closures") _New Features in trunk (committed)_ David checked in <a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/4440";>uninstall.rb</a> that makes it possible to uninstall plugins. We've spoken about it before in RCW but Hampton's solution to wrap your conditional bind variables in a hashes is committed by DHH. So now, no more of this: Topic.find(1, :conditions => [:author_name = ? and :title = ?, @author.name, 'AWWR']) but simply Topic.find(1, :conditions => { :author_name => "David", :title => "AWWR" } will do just fine. That's so much better on my eyes, thanks again Hampton. Also Jamis makes sure Named Routes will never be relative to some containing module ever again: map.connect "/connection/connection", :controller => "connection/connection" # => /connection/connection (btw you are not seeing double) *Discussion/Debates* Blair starts a <a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/68209#new";>discussion></a> about granting partial commit access to trunk. The Continuous Integration discussing rages <a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/67869#new";>on</a>. Julian <a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/68172#new";>restarts</a> a discussion about a url_for in a mailer view. Also there was an interesting <a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/68613#new";>thread</a> leading up to a good tip on reloadable modules. But the longest thread is on "<a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/67958#new";>Too.Many.Scriptaculous.Tickets</a>". The title says it all. A spin off discussion led by Kevin Clark about submitting enhancements in general is <a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/67958#new";>here</a>. *RSS and Feedback* RSS feed : <a href="http://www.pinupgeek.com/articles/category/rails-core-weekly-news";>here</a> Feedback : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Credits: thanks to <a href="http://blog.caboo.se";>#caboose</a>for reviewing ! -- Rodney http://www.pinupgeek.com http://www.dutchrailers.org _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
