Rails 0.10.0 - on the way to 1.0 February 24th

David released Ruby on Rails 0.10.0 today. Major features additions come with this update, including “Routes” (a Rails native way for URL-prettyness rewriting making ways for non-mod_rewrite capable browsers like Lighttpd, see the Routes book for details), Components (to allow for even more modularized programming, check out this hieraki book for more information) and Action Web Service (providing means to making available SOAP and XML-RPC interfaces available for your Rails application)

For upgrade instructions from 0.9.x and more detailed changes check out the official release announcement over at the Rails Weblog. Upgrading is easy if you’re not bound to hundreds of custom rewrite rules.
