Double Shot #258

Without Mondays to absorb all the extra email, Tuesdays would be a disaster.

• Fetches: Bringing your ActionController its Slippers - Rails plugin to dry out the plethora of @foo = Foo.find(params[:id]) calls that litter controllers.


• Announcing Cruise - ThoughtWorks are out with a new commerical continuous integration product that appears to compete directly with CruiseControl.


• Introducing ActivePresenter: the presenter library you already know - Presenter pattern implementation for Rails that feels very much like ActionController. (via RubyFlow)


• rspec-on-rails-matchers - Potentially useful addition to RSpec, though looking at the project network it doesn't look like stuff has been merged back to the master copy lately.


• Open Source Rails - Collection of Rails applications, with a fresh design.


• Simple Localization in Rails 2.2 - A look at the coming feature. (via RubyFlow)
