This is the final release for Instant Rails 1.4. It corrects the two known problems with the preview1 release (two help menu items caused Instant Rails to crash). Instant Rails 1.4 contains the following major changes:

* Upgrades Rails to version 1.1.6
(other components upgraded to current release, also)

* SCGI has been replaced by Mongrel (using Apache's
mod_proxy for forward requests).

* For the development server, WEBrick has also been
replaced by Mongrel.

* Automatic RadRails configuration: if your choose
your Instant Rails "rails_apps" subdirectory as
your workspace, then all of the RadRails paths
(to ruby, rake, ri, rdoc, etc.) will be automatically
set.
