Hello all, This is just a quick heads up that I’m going to be making the 1.2 branch of the engines plugin the official release in the very near future. If you’re planning on using the engines plugin with Rails 1.2, I’d _really_ appreciate it if you could test the current branch with your 1.2 application: rm -fr vendor/plugins/engines svn co [http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/branches/rb\_1.2](http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/branches/rb_1.2) vendor/plugins/engines Check out the UPGRADING notes for what to be wary for, and post any bugs back to the Collaboa site, [http://dev.rails-engines.org](http://dev.rails-engines.org) (login: anon, password: engines). [http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/branches/rb\_1.2/UPGRADING](http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/branches/rb_1.2/UPGRADING) ## IMPORTANT NOTE for those not using Rails 1.2 If you’re stuck on Rails 1.1.6 or lower (and I’m sure there are many who are), don’t try to install this release. It won’t work. It should actually complain gracefully, but there are no guarantees. Furthermore, if you’re linking to the [http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/engines](http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/engines) tag via SVN externals, you MUST update your link to either freeze at the current revision, or switch to a specific tag. Alternatively, look at the Piston tool for locking down your version of the engines plugin to a known-working revision. This is unbelievably important - ignore at your PERIL. ---

I upgraded yesterday, and everything is working save for one action in one of my controllers no longer responds (I get a routing error) The action’s name is “thumbnail” and it was working fine prior to the upgrade. No idea what the problem is. Can I just delete init\_engine.rb? Do I really need anything in init.rb? That said, I’m really digging the new content tag stuff (the :plugin =\> ‘myengine’ options). Very slick. - Tony ---

Found the problem with that action… I guess “.” is a path separator now. Awesome. So Engines 1.2 are working fine for me, at least in development. Anyway, am I good just deleting init\_engine.rb ? - Tony ---

As for upgrading to engines 1.2, this is typically as simple as renaming init\_engine.rb to init.rb, if it exists. If you don’t have an init\_engine.rb, you don’t need to worry. However, It’s worth noting that your plugin does need to have either a lib directory or init.rb (or both) to be recognised as a plugin. ---

Also, from your paste, you should be aware of the changes to Engine.current.version. Storing version information in an about.yml file is the way to go now (see the engines plugin itself for an example). Thanks! ---
