== Ruby Reports (ruport) 1.0 ==

It’s been a long and wild ride. We’re proud to announce that we’re at  
the end of our long list of feature requests and planned changes on  
the 1.0 roadmap, and that with your help, we’ve beaten up the RCs  
enough to shake out a lot of the major bugs, as well as fix some  
surprising behaviors and minor annoyances. So, by some luck of the  
gods, we’ve managed to keep our scheduled release date and Ruport 1.0  
is now ready.

== We now have real web content! ==

We’ve fleshed out [rubyreports.org](http://rubyreports.org) with enough info to get you started.  
The front page explains a bit more about the project and points you  
at all of our available community resources such as mailing lists,  
wiki, etc.

If you’re interested in some more release details, there are some  
extended notes up there:  
[http://rubyreports.org/release\_notes-1.0.html](http://rubyreports.org/release_notes-1.0.html)

== Get it ==

gem install ruport -y

== That’s all ==

I had contemplated massively long release notes, but I figure 1.0 is  
only especially exciting for those who already are following the  
project. 🙂

Please do stop by our mailing list and say hello  
([http://list.rubyreports.org](http://list.rubyreports.org))

Congratulations.

Are you going to be at RailsConf this weekend? Myself and probably  
some other folks from ThoughtWorks would like to meet you.

My congrats to you and the others involved on your team!!

I know all too well the challenges involved in keeping open projects on  
track, so this is an awesome accomplishment!

I’ll plan to mention about Ruport 1.0 at our next St. Louis Ruby U.  
Group  
meeting next week and I expect that we’ll need to follow up with a  
formal  
presentation beyond that (since I know they’ll want to hear more).

Job well done!

We’ve got more to do before we can hang up our hats, but I’m happy to  
see Ruport fairly stable and useful now…

That sounds great. If you or your group have any questions just let me  
know.
