Blog announcement: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2011/8/16/ann-rails-3-0-10

Rails 3.1.0 RC6 is out: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2011/8/16/ann-rails-3-1-0-rc6

So is 2.3.14: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2011/8/16/ann-rails-2-3-14

AMA. ;-)

How on earth did you manage to ship three Rails releases on the single nicest day of the year here in Seattle?

Also, serious question: is there a target release date for Rails 3.1.0?

Haha! I am a glutton for punishment, that is how. Also I plan to drink beer shortly.

Yes, as long as there are no crazy problems, I plan to release the final on August 30th.

EDIT: I meant to say the 30th! :-(

As of right now, there are 6 open issues marked for the 3.1 milestone: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues?milestone=1&state=...

That number has fluctuated over the last few weeks, and there is essentially only one "old" one in there still (opened prior to June 16).

It's getting close...

He prepared 'em several days ago, but was waiting on CVE numbers for the vulnerabilities the three releases fix.

"Barring any show stopping bugs, Rails 3.1.0 will be released on August 30th."

Ah, from the original source. Thanks!

Aaron, we're privileged to have you as a maintainer. Keep up the great work.

Thanks. I'm doing my best! :-)

:-D

On a separate note, since you're a Ruby core committer, what do you think of the idea of adding CoffeeScript-ish style instance variable syntax for Ruby method definitions? Like this:
def tenderlove(@tenderness)
end

They seem better. Not sure if it's life changing though.

That syntax already works in blocks, so it will work with define_method ;)

meow. <3

Only in 1.8.

I saw your talk on Rails at RailsConf and how to lower the stack depth of the middleware by using a standard interface. How's the progress? From someone who hasn't helped out Rails before and would like to, what can I do?

Progress is moving slowly. I'm not sure there's much I can ask you to do. The best thing is if I can lighten my other responsibilities, like bug fixes, etc. :-/

How all the nodejs fuss regarding performance is affecting Rails development ?

It isn't, as far as I can tell.

This is probably off-topic, but after the fuss that was raised about the staleness of the english Ruby site (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2839580), why does ruby-forum.com still look terrible?
The bottom of this page even has a "Powered by RForum" link that 404s. I know the forums aren't meant to be "public facing", but every time I get a ruby-forum link from google, I almost immediately hit back and move on to the next link (even though a lot of the times, ruby-forum has exactly what I'm looking for -- just buried under a wall of mono-spaced text).

Ruby Forum is a web interface to the ruby-talk mailing list, and is not an official Ruby site.

I'm mostly annoyed by the broken css that places all content a page down.

Thank goodness. Bring on the 3.1.0 love, tenderlove ;)

I want a tutorial of how to update Rails in existing systems.

There are plenty of Rails 2 to 3 upgrade tutorials. http://railscasts.com/episodes/225-upgrading-to-rails-3-part...

Change your gemfile. Change your config/environment.rb if applicable. bundle update rails. autotest. Commit when all tests pass.

As well as Rails 3.1.0.rc6
