I was searching through the archives and came across a mention of 0.7  
(that  
I can no longer find) having it’s own asset manager, ala.  
page\_attachments/paperclipped, and was wondering if in fact it was based  
on  
either of those. I could have sworn that page\_attachments was the basis  
for  
it, and that begs the questions: (1) Will the currently attached files  
automagically work with the new system? (2) If a site already has  
paperclipped set up and working, will the new asset manager interfere  
with  
its normal operation?

The reason I am asking is because I am rebuilding a site based on 0.6.7  
that  
just would not upgrade to 0.6.9 and I am taking this opportunity to try  
and  
build it with an eye toward keeping it more current, especially with 0.7  
so  
close to completion. I have already had to trick page\_attachments to  
migrate  
(using Admin::PageController.send instead of  
Admin::PagesController.send)  
because I had already been using page\_attachments on the project, but if  
the  
0.7 asset manager is based on paperclipped, now would be the best time  
for  
me to make the change.

Does anybody have any more info about how assets are going to be handled  
in  
0.7?

Thanks,

Nate

With the possible exception of the new UI being merged in, we are  
feature-frozen for 0.7. John’s new asset manager will be added in 0.7.1  
at earliest.
