Re: Rails 4.0: Release Candidate 1 released

This is a huge step forward to a big release! I myself built a little app with the RC, Ruby 2.0, and deployed it to Heroku yesterday, and that whole stack works just fine.

_Please_ give the RC a try, and file any issues you have on the tracker: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues?state=open There's nothing more frustrating as a maintainer than getting regression reports the day after you release when you've done two or three RC releases. :(

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the release either here or over email, as well.

Weird that the skipped out on Hartl Tutorial in their announcement, it's actually been in Beta for awhile: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book?ve...

Obviously, these lists aren't comprehensive: I have commit to Rails, am helping to write a book on Rails 4 [1], and it's not listed, either. ;) AWDWR is actually tested as part of each release,[2] so it obviously gets a big shout-out.

We need to get your Rails 4 book up there then Steve :D

I actually would love to see a comprehensive list, obviously can't all fit in this short release post!

It's a little farther behind the others, Ryan had updated it for Rails 3.2, and I'm updating it for 4, and my editor and I are going over the first half of the book's updates now. AWDWR is already 100% updated (and I think CRA is too), so it makes sense that mine didn't get mentioned; it's hard to both work on Rails and work on writing a book on Rails.

Sorry for a potential stupid question: Is there an upgrade guide somewhere?

I noticed that mperham mentioned on Twitter that he had 250+ bugs his test-suite after upgrading, and I am sure he and his team have better and more elaborate tests than me.

As mentioned below, there is that official upgrade guide. It is not comprehensive, as mentioned in the post. Should get you going, though. We'll be continuing to work on it now that there's an RC out.

I personally have reviewed (but am not getting a cut of) http://www.upgradingtorails4.com/ and it's pretty good.

I highly recommend watching these free videos from Code School: http://rails4.codeschool.com/videos.
