Channels ▼  Open Source  Ruby On Rails 3.2 Hits New Track Times
The development team behind the Ruby on Rails open source web
application development framework has released its 3.2 version
with a key emphasis on speed. Building on a code foundation
first established in 2004, Ruby on Rails has always championed
"rapid web page assembly" using the Ruby scripting language. Now
with the 3.2 release, improvements have been focused on the
processes executed in the "dev" development mode function of the
software.  Ruby on Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson
blogged on that, "The most noticeable new feature is that
development mode got a ton and a half faster. Inspired by Active
Reload, we now only reload classes from files you've actually
changed. The difference is dramatic on a larger application.
Route recognition also got a bunch faster thanks to the new
Journey engine, and we made linking much faster as well
(especially apparent when you're having 100+ links on a single
page)."  Heinemeier Hansson also notes
