Congratulations to the author, Hampton Catlin, and he has many appreciative users who are excited about these releases. Sass makes CSS so much better.
This release is mainly the work of Nathan Weizenbaum and Chris Eppstein, with a bunch of contributions from other Rubyists. I don't think Hampton worked on this release, and he hasn't been active in Haml/Sass development for a while. That's no knock on Hampton; there's just a tendency to give most of the credit to the initial author of anything (think Perl, or Linux), and in this case other people deserve a bunch of credit, too.
Mainly Nathan. I had 64 commits. Nathan had 661. There were a dozen or so other contributors.
Ah, thank you for the clarification. I apologize for the assumption and not checking further into this.
Great job Nathan and Chris!
I still haven't updated, can anyone tell me is there a plan, or is it in as of now, to have html attributes the output the way I put them in haml and not alphabetically?
I've started using compass/960 a month ago or two, best thing since sliced bread!
Yes, we intend to do this as much as possible in the future.
There is a new attribute syntax that is more html-like. But, I'm not sure if the behavior you speak of has changed. That said, html attributes have no semantic order to them, so that change would be purely aesthetic.
Does this mean we can finally use Compass without all the Haml gem dependency problems (or the edge-gem which has been recently employed)?
I didn't have a chance yet to say thanks. I've asked about multiple load paths watch on compass group and it works now, and cache issues (bugs) on windows seem to be gone as of today - this is pure awesome!
You're welcome! It's good to hear that windows is working better; send thanks to Joe Wasson who submitted the patch that fixed it.
nice, thanks!
I can't say enough good things about Haml and SaSS. If you haven't used it in any of your projects yet install it right now.
If you love SASS you should check out Compass as well, I use them together and it makes my CSS so much easier to work with!!
