Ladies and Gentlemen, really… does it get any better than this?
I was already working on my own little pile of code to allow a Rails ActionController to be run from cron. Additionally, in another world for another project, I was already working on a way to allow a Rails ActionMailer to *receive* mail. Well, it looks like “Rails”:http://rubyonrails.com/ 0.11.0 ( “released this morning”:http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/archives/2005/03/22/rails-0110-ajax-pagination-non-vhost-incoming-mail/ ) does both of those things for me.
In addition to that, Rails just got a lot easier to run out of a subdirectory of your document root without Virtual Hosting. It also got AJAX (I hate that buzzword) support, and a new Pagination helper.
Wow. I’ve said this before… and now I’m saying it again…
Web development just got a whole lot easier.
