Rails 0.11.0, Ajax support on stable

For those running edge rails this may not be a new thing, but most people will be happy to know that Ruby on Rails 0.11.0 was released earlier today and packing quite a few new features, especially for those interested in Ajax development (that’s been getting quite some attention around here). So, Ajax support is now extremely simplified (check this impressive video by Sam Stephenson for an example of how to _ajaxify_ – oh hoh, i just invented a new term – a regular form).

Other additions and changes include pagination support, a new Flash module and a couple more things. You should head on to the release post on ror’s weblog and read all about it.

And if you want to get going with it right now, its a 3 step procedure for those running on 0.10.1 :

• gem update
• cd /path_to_rails_app
• rails . –skip
