This release adds support for ActiveRecord migrations, so in theory  
Goldberg should now run on any database that Rails supports.

Some Rake tasks have also been added, to make installing and upgrading  
easier. See “Installation” on the website.

Also included are numerous minor enhancements and bugfixes.

For those who don’t know, Goldberg is a website development tool with  
login management, role-based security, site navigation via a menu that  
is dynamic based on each users’ permissions, a choice of layouts, and a  
simple CMS. And it’s Free software.

Visit the website for more information on getting, installing and using  
Goldberg. The RubyForge site has the downloads as well as support  
forums where you can ask if you have any difficulties.

Downloaded and created my first Goldberg site. Looks like a great  
place to start developing from. I’m might use this to replace my  
instiki apps. Like the awnf theme.

Hi Larry,

I’d be happy to help if you could give me some more details.

- I’m not intimately familiar with Dr Nic’s Magic Models. Could you  
give me a brief overview of what they are and how you’re using them  
with Goldberg?

- What sorts of problems are you experiencing? Can you give me some  
details, including the steps by which I can reproduce them?

Please feel free to contact me directly by e-mail if that helps –  
urbanus at 240gl dot org.

Regards,  
Dave

Thanks, I appreciate your willingness to help with this. I really  
like the concept, and will use the current version on a couple of  
websites.

Dr Nic’s Magic Models attempts to figure out the model relationship  
for you, by overriding the Module.constant\_missing method. (

)

I’ll document this in more detail to you directly.
