Ruby on Rails 2.1 Released

by Robert Dempsey on June 1, 2008

Right before the end of RailsConf 2008 Ruby on Rails 2.1 is released. New features include:

  • Time zones
  • Dirty tracking
  • Gem dependencies
  • UTC-based migrations
  • Better caching (ala memcache)

If you’ve been working with edge rails (which you all have haven’t you?) then you’ll be ready for the update. Either way, the official page has additional information on each new feature as well as links to Railscasts for visual explanations. As usual for all the goodness simply:

sudo gem install rails
