Dear devs,

What’s new:

Another step closer to web programming nirvana. This release  
features completely recoded scaffolding, an auto admin system,  
a recoded template-morphing system, a new intelligent dispatcher  
that handles both nice urls and general structure, and so much  
more. Moreover, this is the release with the most community  
contributions. Download now!

Most notable changes:

- New, intelligent dispatcher handles nice urls automatically,  
without explicit rewrite rules. At the same time, it handles  
sub directories, so you are free to design your app’s  
structure as you like.

- New template morphing implementation. The morphing compiler  
is fully customizable. You can implement your own morphers and  
add them to the morphing system, here for example is the  
new selected\_if morpher:

- New Sweeper mixin. Using this mixin allows you to keep  
the cleanup logic in one place. This logic is called  
automagically by many default Nitro/Og methods (for example  
Og insert/update, scaffolding, etc). You can fully customize  
the behaviour.

- Searchable mixin. Include this mixin to your classes to make  
them searchable by the auto administration system.

- Added two new session managers (OgSession, FileSession),  
cleaned up the session code.

- Better validations implementation. Cleaner code, less evals,  
more flexible and easier to extend.

- New scaffolding / auto administration system. The implementation  
is much cleaner and easier to customize. It leverages the latest  
advancements (dispatcher, sweeper, etc) and adds search support,  
pager, breadcrumps and more. You can define your own controls  
to handle properties and relations. Stay tuned for more stuff  
in the near future.

- New Og revisable mixin. Just include this mixin in your classes  
and get db backed revision support for free. Here comes an  
example:

- Bug fixed KirbyBase Og adapter. This works great with the  
new 2.5 gem.

- Added more rational defaults, and many predefined options to  
minimize the amount of setup needed to get your app running. Of  
course you can still customize just about everything in Nitro.

- Improvements to PostgreSQL automatic generation of foreign key  
constraints.

- Added evolution support to the MySql store.

- Upgrated to Prototype 1.4 and Scriptaculous 1.5

- Updated the examples, check out the improved blog and why\_wiki  
examples.

- Many, many, many bug fixes and smaller improvements.

Nitro provides everything you need to develop professional Web  
applications using Ruby and Javascript.

Nitro redefines Rapid Application Development by providing a  
clean, yet efficient API, a layer of domain specific languages  
implemented on top of Ruby and the most powerful and elegant  
object relational mapping solution available everywhere.

have fun,  
George M.
