This time we are proud to announce Version 0.1.4 of the Ramaze
framework, a
light and modular open source web framework.
Since the last release hundreds of lines of documentation and specs have
been
written. Ramaze was ported to JRuby and received lots of special love
regarding
bugfixes and polishing the overall API.
An extensive set of specs is covering almost every detail of the
implementation
and usage. It is developed by several people and already in
production-use at
some companies.
Special (alphabetic) thanks go to:
Aman ‘tmm1’ Gupta - specs, Sass support
Fabian Buch - porting to JRuby
Gabriele ‘riffraff’ Renzi - specs, documentation, cleanup
Jonathan ‘Kashia’ Buch - documentation
Riku Räisänen - extensive testing

A complete Changelog is available at
http://manveru.net/ramaze/doc/CHANGELOG
Known issues:
- none yet, waiting for your reports
Features:
-
Builds on top of the 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% (dcov says around
75%)
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.
