I am pleased to announce the release of version 0.1.1 of Arti, a toolkit for mechanized documentation for Rails. Arti can be used in either “merged” or “remote” mode. In either case, it analyzes the source code of a Rails application, generating: - pretty-printed source code listings - Graphviz-based diagrams of file usage - RDoc-based documentation pages - statistics on lines of code, etc. The results are then made available as Rails pages. Although it’s very early days for this project, I think that it shows promise. So, I’m looking for candidates of target Rails apps, and folks who are willing to download and try it out. To get a quick look at Arti’s capabilities, visit [http://mephisto-ar.cfcl.com](http://mephisto-ar.cfcl.com) which uses Arti on a copy of the Mephisto weblog engine. To get a quick look at Arti’s own code and organization, see [http://arti-ar.cfcl.com](http://arti-ar.cfcl.com) which uses Arti on itself!
