<P>I saw 112 has FileOps implemented so please discard the patch I send in earlier. Let me know if there are any other area you would like me to help with?</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>This is the release that we used to run the Rails functional test this afternoon.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I had to modify two files in Rails to work around some missing functionality in IronRuby today. I’ve attached these files to this mail. They are:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>activesupport\lib\active_support\inflector.rb</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>railties\lib\initializer.rb</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There were three reasons to make these changes. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoListParagraph><SPAN>1)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></SPAN>In inflector.rb, we have a workaround around a missing feature in String#gsub (replacement via \1 and \2)</P>
<P class=MsoListParagraph><SPAN>2)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></SPAN>In initializer.rb, we have a workaround around a missing feature in Dir#glob (we don’t handle [_a-z] correctly)</P>
<P class=MsoListParagraph><SPAN>3)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></SPAN>In initializer.rb, we’re commenting out the call to initialize_database since we don’t have our .NET ActiveRecord adapter working yet (it’s in progress).</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve attached these two files to this mail if you want to try it out yourself. Note that when creating the Rails app, I’ve also frozen the copy of rails via:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>rake rails:freeze:gems</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Note that there is a new svn\trunk\libs directory in this build. You’ll need to create an alias that uses the –I command line switch to IronRuby to correctly include this path *<B>AHEAD</B>* of other paths (such as the path to your MRI installations’ lib\ruby\1.8 and lib\site_ruby\1.8\</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Here’s a sample ir.cmd file that we use internally.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>%MERLIN_ROOT%\bin\debug\ir.exe -I %MERLIN_ROOT%\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\1.8;%MERLIN_ROOT%\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8;%MERLIN_ROOT%\Languages\Ruby\Libs %*</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Note that the new Ruby\Libs directory shows up at the end of the list (this is a bug in how we parse –I). The order is important.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
