Rails 2.3.5 Upgrade Complete

June 11, 2010 by asalant

Freehub has been upgraded to Rails 2.3.5. The major work in this upgrade (in addition to moving to HAML as described below) was switching to using the time zone support introduced in Rails 2.1. I’m hoping that this upgrade will make it easier for new developers to get up and running with Freehub more easily and for me and others to add new features. Woohoo!

The master branch in GitHub is now the 2.3.5 version. The 2.0.2 version is tagged as ‘rails_2.0.2’ for anyone who needs that. http://freehub.bikekitchen.org on Engine Yard is now running the 2.3.5 version.

Migrated from Markaby to HAML

I’ve completed the first step in the process of upgrading Rails – I’ve replaced the Markaby templating engine with HAML. One of the nice things about HAML is that it is widely used and well documented. This makes it a good candidate for an open source project like Freehub. It is also already compatible with Rails 3 for when we want to upgrade to that (I’m targeting 2.3.5 for now).

See http://haml-lang.com/ for info on how to use HAML yourself.

Moved to GitHub

I’ve migrated our SVN repository from CVSDude to GitHub and moved over the relevant wiki pages. There’s still a couple more things to move but starting now, GitHub should be the primary source of code and information for Freehub.
