Weeks of December 24 - December 30, 2012

After anticipating Rails 4 for a year, it feels close to me. I'd be amazed if we weren't playing with it by RailsConf.

  • 61b91c4c removes the /bin directory from the default .gitignore. Seldom has a one-line change generated so much heated discussion. My point of view? I never use the default .gitignore unchanged and neither should you. If you don't want to check in /bin, ignore it yourself.
  • f75addd0 introduces assert_not foo to replace assert !foo.
