This is the final release for Instant Rails 1.4. It corrects the two known problems with the preview1 release (two help menu items caused Instant Rails to crash). Instant Rails 1.4 contains the following major changes: - Upgrades Rails to version 1.1.6 (other components upgraded to current release, also) - SCGI has been replaced by Mongrel (using Apache’s mod\_proxy for forward requests). - For the development server, WEBrick has also been replaced by Mongrel. - Automatic RadRails configuration: if your choose your Instant Rails “rails\_apps” subdirectory as your workspace, then all of the RadRails paths (to ruby, rake, ri, rdoc, etc.) will be automatically set. ## Known Problems There are two known problems: If you select the menu items “Help \> Getting Started” or “Help \> Release Notes”, Instant Rails will crash. For the time being, you can read these two topics from the web site: [http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/](http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/) ========================================= Instant Rails includes a number of open source software packages.
