Mainly a bug fix release. Many small improvements were implemented. All reported bugs were fixed, as well as bugs found during the deployment of a live application. For more information consult the detailed changelog. Thanks to Julien Perrot for small patches.

Some notable changes:

* Some changes to make Webrick a valid solution for powering a production server. The full page output caching was improved and support for daemonizing the server was added. Support for running as a proxy target (behind an apache server) was also added.

* Thread safe mode was added again in Og. This works nice with the Webrick server.

* New order macro in Og to set default ordering for each entity. The has_many collections respects the order setting.

* Improved error reporting.

* Support for template_root overloading. Lets say you have the following Controller hierarchy:

Controller > MyController > SpecificController.

The template roots of the 3 controller are searched in reverse order. So by adding a template file in the SpecificController template root you can override a default action in the base Controller. For convienience the base Controller points to the Proto directory. This is experimental.

* Provide the examples as a separate distribution to make it easier for Ruby newbies to find them.

* Bug fixes in the Elements system.

* Improved the nitrogen generator command. Just run

nitrogen app ~/the/target/path

to create a skeleton application.

* Cleaned up some source files.
