Does Engines edge (svn) works with Rails 1.2RC1?

Will Engines be split in two (pre-1.2 and 1.2.x), or there will still  
be one engines plugin that supports both Rails 1.1.x and 1.2.x ?

Sorry for the delayed reply Hendy;

It’s my intention that Engines 1.2 be Rails 1.2 only. Maintaining  
functionality for multiple versions of the fast moving target that is  
the Rails framework is becoming difficult, and I’d rather focus on  
supporting current versions of Rails than cluttering up the plugin  
with if statements to handle older versions. Detecting the particular  
version of Rails is also a nightmare.

If you are using Rails 1.1.x, you should stick with the Engines 1.1.x  
releases.

Cool! I guess that’s the way to go.

I like the opinionated James A… 🙂
