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 RÃ¤isÃ¤nen - extensive testing

Short summary of changes from 0.1.3 to 0.1.4:

- Even better error handling.

- Many bugs fixed.

- Support for Sass CSS templates.

- Layouts for actions.

- Close to 100% documented methods/classes/methods.

- Primitive filebased action-cache.

- Runs on JRuby.

- Easier integration of ramazes spec-helpers for your own  
applications.

- Dirlisting functionality.

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

directly  
on IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/#ramaze)

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