We’ve just posted three new screencasts for the newest version of Streamlined, we hope you’ll enjoy them.
We’ll have many more online in the next few days, but here are the first. Enjoy! Feedback welcome!

The big news of the day is the release of our sample project, with documentation on the Wiki. In addition, the feature list is growing, and the team is doing a great job of keeping up with the docs over there now. Its amazing what can happen when you get some extra hands on deck.
We’d like to encourage everyone to look over the docs being released and edit those pages with questions you want answered.

We’ve officially expanded the team here at Streamlined. We’d like to extend a warm and public welcome to our four new committers: Matthew, Venkat, Glenn and Luis. We expect the pace of change to ramp up, as well as the quality, with these four new eager beavers aboard.
Don’t forget to keep asking questions on the mailing list and posting tickets to Trac. Now, there’s more of us to answer. Yay!

We’ve just added patches submitted by matthew and ttaylor (thanks, both of you) and fixed a few other tickets. We’ve also moved a few features into the new sandbox section, to clean up the major part of the release.
The next step is a sample project, and then 0.1 goes out the door.

Just wanted to publicly thank Bruce Williams for being a true pal, friend to Open Source, and general good guy for coming up with our new logo (seen on the Trac page).

If you are going to post a ticket to Trac with detailed stack traces (and we encourage you to do so) please encase the stacktrace portion in the Trac syntax for a code snippet.
The body of the ticket should look something like:
Your framework sucks because of X! Jerks!
Here's a stacktrace that proves how sucky it is:
{{{
Rails
Stack
Trace
}}}
Somebody posted a ticket over the weekend and Trac was blowing up silently because it couldn’t parse the body of the ticket. Wrapping the trace in the code macro solved the problem.
Thanks!

Also, note that we’ve updated the links to the Wiki and to Collaboa (now Trac) over on the left there. The new site is:

Effective immediately, the plugin version of Streamlined is available. You can get it by issuing the following command from inside your Rails app:
> script/plugin install http://streamlinedframework.org:8079/streamlined/plugins/streamlined
Once it has installed, be sure to read /vendor/plugins/streamlined/README for instructions on how to get it running with your application.
We’re releasing right now with some known todo items: mainly, all the rake tasks that are referenced in the README and in the various default partials have not been included yet. We’ll be releasing those over the next few hours and days, and you can always update to the latest version by issuing this command:
> script/plugin update http://streamlinedframework.org:8079/streamlined/plugins/streamlined
We hope some of you will take a look and start giving us feedback on whether or not this is better than the generator version (we think so, for a whole variety of reasons, but your opinions on that front are more important than ours).
We’re looking forward to your feedback, and to now being able to roll changes out faster than ever before because of the ease of upgrading with the plugin.

We had some server downtime overnight; some kind of runaway mail-related processes dragged everything right off the map. We’re back online now, obviously.

One of our (very helpful) users asked the question on the mailing list: “You say 0.0.6 is Rails 1.2 compliant, but is it backward compliant with Rails 1.1.6?”
The simple answer is “no”. But the just slightly less simple answer is: here’s what to do about it.
Open /vendor/plugins/relevance_extensions/init.rb and comment out the line that reads:
Dependencies.load_paths.unshift("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/streamlined")
Then, open up /vendor/plugins/relevance_extensions/lib/streamlined_controller.rb, and uncomment the two lines:
# require_dependencies :ui, Dir["#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/streamlined/*.rb"].collect {|f| f.gsub(".rb", "")}
# depend_on :ui, Dir["#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/streamlined/*.rb"].collect {|f| f.gsub(".rb", "")}
That’s it! The rest is all compliant in both releases.
Finally, if you are going to run it in Firefox 2.0, there is a bug in Prototype. You can monkeypatch it Add the following at line 865:
// patched as suggested in http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6579
for (var name in headers) {
if (typeof(headers[name]) != 'function') {
this.transport.setRequestHeader(name, headers[name]);
}
}
We’ve submitted that patch back to Prototype, and are waiting to hear if it gets adopted. Without this patch, everything still works fine in IE, Safari and Firefox 1.5 (and, yes, Opera). Only Firefox 2.0 seems to be affected.
