ActiveRecord::Extensions 0.0.5 is out!

ActiveRecord::Extensions (ARE) is a suite of extensions to ActiveRecord.  
It includes better support for ActiveRecord find methods by supporting  
core Ruby classes such as Arrays, Regexps and Ranges.

It also includes support via the “import” method to insert mass amounts  
of data at speeds up to 40x faster then ActiveRecord normally does. It  
supports only MySQL right now and includes support for things like:

- INSERT IGNORE … statements
- INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements
- Multi-value INSERT statements
