Katapult 0.5.0 released

Katapult 0.3.0 brings Rails 5 and Ruby 2.5 support with a new design, plus a ton of smaller features, fixes and improvements.

Features

• Generating a Rails 5.1.4 app on Ruby 2.5....

Features

• Generating a project README
• Finally: Support for modelling associations between models in your application model! Example:

Katapult was an endeavor to dramatically speed up starting a new Rails application. However, it turned out to save less time than expected, while requiring more time for maintenance than anticipated. Since its benefits fell too low, we have decide...

Dokan Ruby is a Ruby extension library to write a file system for Windows. This extension also has compatible API with FuseFS (Ruby extension for FUSE). You can write a file system only in 25 lines.

Now allows to list transition paths from and to arbitrary states.

Sass now comes with user-defined functions, keyword arguments, list manipulation. Haml and Sass are now two separate gems.

jQuery as new default Javascript library, streaming response support, attr_accessible with roles, prepared statements, easier migrations.

Two new methods on and off are the new way of declaring event handlers. bind, delegate and live area deprecated. Also better performance for delegated events.

It's the last bugfix release. We will get another year of security fixes, then no more patches.
