Double Shot #488

Lots going on in the Rails repository lately; I smell another release soon. (And no, I don't have insider information at this point).

• Serna Free Open Source XML Editor - Available for Windows, Linux, and OS X.


• Getting Started with ActiveScaffold - A basic introduction.


• Testing Practices Interview 7: Mike Gunderloy - Noel Rappin invited me to opine, so I did.


• by_star - ActiveRecord extension to find objects given date objects or pieces of dates. Supports searching by year, month, week, between, and more.


• Modernizr - Tool to detect support for HTML 5 and CSS 3 features so you can use them conditionally.


• Accessible Rails Apps - Rails Links, REST and JavaScript Hidden Forms - Brian Hogan suggests that the Rails team got some things wrong, and shows how to fix them.


• Rescuing Your Ruby on Rails Projects - Another interview with me, this one in InfoQ.


• sitemap_generator-plugin - Tool for building Google sitemaps in Rails applications via rake.
