This time we are proud to announce Version 0.3.0 of Ramaze, the light  
and  
modular open source web framework.

This release features a lot of work directly from our community and we  
are  
really greatful for everybody who helped in testing, patching and  
contributing  
new exciting features.

Our extensive set of specs and docs now covers almost every detail of  
implementation and usage. Ramaze is under development by a growing  
community  
and in production use at companies.

Simple example:

require ‘ramaze’

class MainController  
def index  
‘Hello, World!’  
end  
end

Ramaze.start

Special (alphabetic) thanks go to:

Aman ‘tmm1’ Gupta - lots of patches and friendly support  
Antonio C. - Article: [http://tiny.cc/tRLfm](http://tiny.cc/tRLfm)  
Carlo Zottmann - First patch!  
Jonathan ‘Kashia’ Buch - patches for gettext and Og support  
Pistos - PR through awesome screencasts

Selected summary of the 118 patches from 0.2.1 to 0.3.0:

- Specs switched from RSpec to bacon; Ramaze now runs on Ruby 1.9.

- /lib/proto (pregenerated base source code) updated to a new  
structure.

- Oddities in gem version of bin/ramaze fixed (hopefully? 🙂 )

- Layouts fixed so the method on the right controller is called.

- contrib/facebook and simple facebook app example added.

- Lambda router support added to contrib/route.

- examples/rapaste added.

- gettext contrib added; localize ramaze via gettext.

- Adapter for Thin Ruby webserver added.

- Index files can now be put into public directories and  
subdirectories.

- examples/blog switched from Og to Sequel.

- view/ is now the subdirectory for templates; if not found, Ramaze  
falls  
back to template/.

- Default error pages updated: colour gradient removed; textmate link  
added;  
Javascript optimized; CSS tweaked.

- Templates are no longer searched for in public/.

A complete Changelog is available at  
[http://darcs.ramaze.net/ramaze/doc/CHANGELOG](http://darcs.ramaze.net/ramaze/doc/CHANGELOG)

Known issues:

- none yet, waiting for your reports 🙂

Ramaze Features:

- Builds on top of the Rack library, which provides easy use of  
adapters like  
Mongrel, WEBrick, LiteSpeed, Thin, CGI or FCGI.

- Supports a wide range of templating-engines like: Amrita2, Erubis,  
Haml,  
Liquid, Markaby, Remarkably and its own engine called Ezamar and  
(still  
unofficial) Nagoro.

- Highly modular structure: you can just use the parts you like. This  
also  
means that it’s very simple to add your own customizations.

- A variety of helpers is already available, giving you things like  
advanced  
caching, OpenID-authentication or aspect-oriented programming for  
your  
controllers.

- It is possible to use the ORM you like, be it Sequel, DataMapper,  
ActiveRecord, Og, Kansas or something more simplistic like DBI, or a  
wrapper around YAML::Store.

- Good documentation: although we don’t have 100% documentation right  
now  
(dcov says around 75%), just about every part of Ramaze is covered  
with  
basic and advanced docs. There are a variety of examples,  
screencasts and a  
tutorial available.

- Friendly community: there are people from all over the world using  
Ramaze,  
so you can get almost instant help and info.

Thank you, Michael ‘manveru’ Fellinger and the Ramaze community
