I spent a lot of yesterday deep in the Rails source, trying to figure out why some tests weren't passing. No final conclusion but I think I'm on the right track.

  • Timecop 0.2.0 - Gem for freezing time to make it easier to write reproducible tests. Here's the original announcement.

  • Pages Generator - Another helpful little tool from GitHub.

  • Bringing Merb's provides/display into Rails 3 - DHH gives us a peek at one of the planned bits of merging.

  • Dispatch from the Front Lines - And Yehuda Katz is also writing about the work to come. The more of this sort of thing we see from the merged team, the less FUD there will be to go around.

  • Overview of Jekyll - a static site generator written in Ruby - A look at the tool that's tied into GitHub's pages.

  • Kontrol - a micro framework - Yes, it's another small Ruby web framework.
