Streamlined

Streamlined End-of-Life

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:59:00 +0000

With many thanks to the many users of Streamlined over the years, and all the feedback we've received (positive and negative, it's all good), we are announcing the official end-of-life for Streamlined. Since it is under the MIT license, it will live on for whomever it is still usefully evolving, but we are no longer releasing new features or patches.

If you are looking for an active alternative, please check out the full-featured ActiveScaffold or the simple, but highly useful, Formtastic.

Many thanks to bonefish and pelargir for all their contributions over the life of the project. It is always nice to have passionate users on the case.

Streamlined has moved to Github

Rob — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:36:00 +0000

Streamlined has moved to Github. We’ve already moved all of our other open source here at Relevance to our Github account, so it was long overdue to move Streamlined. The old SVN repo will be phased out and deleted within three weeks, so please plan accordingly.

Github has got be one of the best things to happen to open source and Git in the last year. It takes code collaboration to a new level of sexiness. Please do send pull requests with Streamlined patches and feature ideas, and someone on the Streamlined team will take a look.

We’ll be treating the master branch as the ‘stable’ area, and we will fire up new branches for long-term experimental work. So if you want to use git submodules to track Streamlined, feel free to point them at the master branch. You can also use the new script/plugin support from within Rails 2.1+ to install directly from Github:

script/plugin install git://github.com/relevance/streamlined.git

Streamlined now Postgres-enabled

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 10:55:00 +0000

Streamlined is now proud to be 100% Postgres-compliant. If you are a Postgres user, Streamlined now does everything you want and has a full test suite to prove it.

Streamlined Edge + Rails 2 = Good Lovin'

Jason Rudolph — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:07:00 +0000

If you’re up for livin’ on the edge, Streamlined has been enjoying sweet bliss with Rails 2.0.2 for a few weeks now.

Wanna try it out? Just grab the edge bits…


script/plugin install http://svn.streamlinedframework.org/edge/streamlined

...and you’re good to go.

As always, if you notice any issues, be sure to drop a ticket in Trac. In the mean time, we’re well on our way to a formal 1.0 release candidate in the near future. Stay tuned.

Streamlined goes test/spec

Jason Rudolph — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 16:38:00 +0000

If you grab the latest edge Streamlined bits, you’ll want to make sure you have the test/spec gem installed. All the tests now use test/spec’s describe-style goodness, but it will take a while still to convert all the tests to have more meaningful behavior-driven names.

Streamlined and Rails 2.0 progress

Rob — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 23:48:00 +0000

We made some great progress towards edge rails at Relevance HQ today. We finally got the test suite completely in the green for edge rails using multi_rails to make things easier. This is a huge improvement over just a few weeks ago, where we had over 50 errors or failures against edge. The bulk of the failures where things having to do with view_paths and changes in how actionview did things.

Despite the passing test suite, our sports sample app still doesn’t function correctly in edge, which appears to be because of a larger issue in how we mix in Streamlined methods into the view classes. The next step is to add some failing tests in the areas where Streamlined blows up and start getting them to green.

With the rapid progress we’ve made lately, I would not be surprised to have tentative edge rails compatibility by Rubyconf or a week or two after.

Do you know your Streamlined core team?

Do you know your Streamlined core team? You may have seen us speak at No Fluff Just Stuff, RailsConf, the Rails Edge, or at various Ruby and Rails groups all over. Maybe you’ve even seen some of our more controversial blog postings make the rounds awhile back.

The core team has its own mailing list for discussion of development of Streamlined, as well to plan future releases. If you are at all interested in contributing to Streamlined or just following along with the push forward, please subscribe!
