My favourite Ruby web application framework Ramaze<\/a> has been updated, and in a major way. As of the 2009.05 gem release Ramaze is built on top of sub-project Innate – a lean mean core that in turn builds on top of Rack. Pistos explains the major changes well in his blog post<\/a>. For me, although I'm yet to properly get to grips with the new code, the most promising things to look forward to are:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • A fresh start with a lot of accumulated cruft thrown out, resulting in cleaner, more straightforward code for Ramaze itself. I end up reading the Ramaze code a lot (it's very accessible and empowering) so this makes it even easier to delve into the internals and figure out what's what.<\/li>\n
  • Rack middleware is front and centre, making it easy to chain HTTP processing components into your request handling flow – like Java servlet filters.<\/span> Not required very often, but a godsend when it is.<\/li>\n
  • A much tidier sessions implementation, with lazy <\/span>initialisation.<\/li>\n
  • A rethought render helper that brings a bit more sanity to the many ways to bring in view fragments.<\/li>\n
  • Layout support is more of a core concern, with more facilities to deal with layouts sensibly.<\/li>\n
  • Built-in support for serving different content representations<\/span> from the same controller.<\/li>\n
  • An interesting new codebase for me to poke my nose into \ud83d\ude42<\/span> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Now if only I can find time to get my Ramaze CRUD framework going in this new world order, then package it up to share with the rest of the world. One day!<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
