This time we are proud to announce Version 0.1.2 of the Ramaze  
framework, an  
open source web framework with the aim to be light and modular.

Since the 0.1.0 release we have made a lot of progress and the overall  
API has  
mostly settled down. An extensive set of tests is covering almost every  
detail  
of the implementation and usage.

It is developed by by several people and already in production-use at  
some  
companies.

IRC: #ramaze on [irc.freenode.net](http://irc.freenode.net)

New Features in Version 0.1.2:

- Restructuring of Ramaze internals, featuring a cleaner overall  
layout.

- Add Ramaze::Record to easily record requests fitting particular  
patterns.

- Support for the Remarkably templating engine.

- Adapted for Rack 0.2

- Easier caching.

- replacing autoreload with a general SourceReload class.

- Reviewed and largely improved tutorial and tested examples.

- Even less patches to the Ruby core, mostly for compatibility with the  
upcoming Ruby 1.9 and tested with older versions down to 1.8.2.

- Largely improved Spec-framework for any kind of web-application.

- Through some benchmarking and refactoring the overall speed has  
improved  
around the factor 2-3.

A complete Changelog is available at  
[http://manveru.mine.nu/ramaze/doc/CHANGELOG](http://manveru.mine.nu/ramaze/doc/CHANGELOG)

Features:

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

- Supports a wide range of templating-engines like:  
Amrita2, Erubis, HAML, Liquid, Markaby, Remarkably and its own  
engine  
called Ezamar.

- 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 ActiveRecord, Og,  
Kansas or  
something more simplistic like a wrapper around YAML::Store.

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

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

For more information please come to [http://ramaze.rubyforge.org](http://ramaze.rubyforge.org) or ask  
directly  
on IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/#ramaze)

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

way to go! Greatly appriciated. The new SourceReload in this  
version is really much better, taking next to none CPU.

PS: Favourite Ramaze feature of the day:

Using Ramaze::Dispatcher::Action::FILTER to implement arbitrary  
filters which get run on the response (like Localization).
