{} || || ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <= _whycake ~ Camping 2.1 ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm pleased to announce another release of Camping, the microframework. This time we've focused on improving the 1.9 support, adding (builtin) support for more template engines, refreshing the homepage and just general bug fixes. gem install camping Home: http://camping.rubyforge.org/ http://github.com/camping/camping http://github.com/camping/camping/issues http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list ERB and Haml Camping now includes support for Tilt (http://github.com/rtomayko/tilt) which means that you'll get simple, effortless ERB and Haml support: module App # Path to where you want to store the templates set :views, File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/views' end module App::Controllers class Index def get render :index end end end Now you just need to add a views/index.haml or views/index.erb and it'll render that instead of using Markaby. You can still use Markaby of course! If you want to change any options for either ERB or Haml, you can use #set: module App set :haml, { :escape_html => true } set :erb, { :trim => "%" } end ~> New homepage Bluebie has designed an excellent new homepage for Camping: http://camping.rubyforge.org/ It should have links to pretty much everything you need to know about Camping. As soon as possible we'll also try to integrate it with the GitHub wiki and make everything more easily editable, so you can add your own links too! We've also started a blog at http://campingrb.tumblr.com/, where we'll keep you up-to-date on the Camping development and community. ~> _whyday! It's the 19th August today, so that means it's Whyday: http://whyday.org/ Camping 2.1 is our little contribution :-) I should mention that many of these changes has been available for a *looong* time in the source, but we felt that Whyday was a perfect occasion for finally releasing 2.1. I'd actually recommend to try out the experimental version if there's been a while since the latest release. See the installation page in the wiki for information, and subscribe to http://campingrb.tumblr.com/ to get a sneak preview of the latest changes in Camping! Have fun and enjoy both Whyday and Camping!
