Central point to collect locale data for use in Ruby on Rails.

In earlier version I needed to do an awkward thing that only affected development mode, where Rails unloads all classes after each request. run_later runs code in a separate thread, and depending on how long that code runs the classes would be unloaded when they're still accessed from the worker.

Webbynode is a very affordable VPS host (256 RAM for $15) which has great support for Rails applications.

Concerns is a simple Rails plugin that provides you with a simple way to organise your Controllers, Models and Mailers, and split them into smaller chunks of logic. It is especially useful when you have lengthly models, and you get fed with having to scroll through several hundred lines of code.

So here’s an overview of how things are going to work in Rails 3.

assignable_values 0.10.0 adds support for Rails 4.1 and Ruby 2.1.0.

Consul 0.12.0 adds support for Rails 4.1 and Ruby 2.1, expanding compatibility for projects using newer framework and language versions.

Balancing refactoring with complexity is difficult when new patterns promise cleaner, more testable Rails code. Choosing when to apply them keeps code maintainable without overengineering.

Tod handles time-of-day values without dates, avoiding timezone-related bugs when parsing, comparing, formatting, or storing hours, minutes, and seconds.

Lightweight WYSIWYG HTML editing for web apps, with a cleaner interface than TinyMCE or CKEditor and Rails integration.

class_attribute behavior in Rails can differ from the removed class_inheritable_attribute, especially when inheritable class state is needed across subclasses.

Aggregated test coverage for RSpec and Cucumber with rcov:all now supports Rails 2 and 3 and can ignore shared traits.

Provides JavaScript with a simple API for Ruby on Rails model CRUD, useful when direct browser access to create, read, update, and delete operations is needed.

Rails 4.0 adds where.not for cleaner ActiveRecord queries, making negative conditions easier to read and write.

Frustration with DCI and Clean Ruby centers on ambitious promises that feel unfinished and oversold in large Ruby on Rails applications.

Sass/SCSS autocompletion and syntax highlighting in RubyMine 4.5 had annoying bugs that made Rails web development harder.

Custom Rake tasks are meant to stay unchanged, but vendor tasks such as Rails task definitions can be extended with additional behavior.

Rails I18n translations become available in JavaScript clients through a small library for sharing locale data outside the server.

cucumber fails because cucumber.yml cannot be parsed; removing rerun.txt in the Rails directory often fixes the invalid rerun state.

Rails 2.3.11 has a bug where reset_session raises undefined method destroy'; copying an initializer to config/initializers` works around it until a maintenance release.

Selenium on WEBrick fails on HTTPS pages because the server does not speak SSL. Disabling SSL only for those scenarios avoids Cucumber browser test failures.

Processing large record sets can exhaust memory when loading everything at once. find_in_batches and find_each keep memory usage lower for long-running data updates.

Performance tuning for Ruby on Rails web apps reduces slow page loads and sluggish interactions by improving frontend and backend efficiency.

Child objects can be saved automatically with their parent in Rails, reducing manual persistence work and keeping associated records consistent.
