Week of February 12-February 18, 2012

Things are still moving along in the usual Rails fashion of incremental improvement.

• There was a bunch of work on the internals of inflections, including d3071db1 which, if I'm reading it right, is a serious bit of optimization.
• d6b26a6 adds date_field and date_field_tag helpers to create HTML5 date inputs.
• 951b5820 makes it easy to run a class other that IRB as your Rails console - a boon for Pry users.
