Ladies and Gentlemen, boy and girls, the moment you've all been waiting for. "Rails":http://www.rubyonrails.com/ has released it's first candidate (RC1) for Rails 1.0 and it's "available":http://encytemedia.com/blog/articles/2005/10/16/rails-1-0-rc-1-released now!
"Improvements":http://greymatter.usc.edu/blog/articles/2005/10/16/what-s-new-in-rails-1-0 over 0.13.1 include:
* Rails::Initializer: Should make environment.rb a bit cleaner.
* db/schema.rb: Will make getting updated db schema easier
* Better FCGI: Scripts to help start and stop applications served with FastCGI putting more distance between the server (Apache2) and the application.
* SwitchTower: deployment
* Plugins: Extend the base Rails quickly and easily.
* Speed: A 2x improvement. A 4x gain with special upgrades.
I have yet to try it being in a very "production" level state right now. But, as soon as things calm down a little, you can be sure I will. Get it while it's hot
