Hi, two questions please :

- is Simply RestFull the on and only way to use REST in Rails  
application ?
- where is the official location of the latest release (for rails 1.1,  
not for edge or developpment version), here ?  
[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/plugins/simply\_restful/](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/plugins/simply_restful/)

Thanks

Note : can somebody provide a REST sample application (something very  
basic, on how to use the plugin) ??

Nuno,

The REST functionality provided by the simply\_restful plugin has  
been in edge for quite some time now. The plugin was a testing ground  
and now is simply of historic value. Simply rake rails:freeze:edge or  
wait a few days/weeks for Rails 1.2 to be released.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for this answer Zack - What is “edge” rails ? The latest svn  
(unstable) version ?

Is it “safe” to start a new project with edge rails instead of latest  
1.1.x version ?

Nuno,

Yes, edge rails is the latest copy from the trunk of the rails svn  
repository. If you’re just starting a project I would say it’s safe  
if only because rails 1.2 should be coming out shortly. At that point  
you can freeze to 1.2.

Okay, I’ve seen that they are at pre-release candidate stage - Should be  
fine to use for new projets…
