Padrino 0.12.4

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Nathan Esquenazi | categories: press, ruby, update

Two months ago, we released 0.12.3 which introduced a number of improvements to the core codebase and put our 0.12.x branch into a solid place. Today, we are releasing the final iteration on the 0.12.x line which includes a ton of bug fixes and documentation cleanup. The details of this release can be found below. This release paves the road for our 0.13.0 release that will likely follow next with several substantial changes in place. The details of this 0.12.4 release can be found below.

Mounter Supports Rack

The Padrino Mounter has always been one of the cores of our framework and allowed the flexible mounting of many different padrino apps within the same project. This functionality is at the heart of the light modular app architecture that powers Padrino. However, until recently the mounter only worked for Padrino apps. With this release, @namusyaka removed that restriction and now we can map any Rack, Grape or Sinatra app into a Padrino project:

# config/apps.rb
Padrino.mount('SinatraApp', app_file: Padrino.root('sinatra_app/app.rb'))
Padrino.mount('Sample::API', app_file: Padrino.root('api/app.rb'))

We are excited for our router to be that much more flexible going forward towards 1.0!

Fixing Padrino Docs

A few months ago, we were honored to be brought onto the RubyRogues podcast to discuss the Padrino Framework and explain why we think Sinatra and Padrino are a great way to build modern and maintainable ruby web apps and APIs.

However, we recognize that our framework has a challenge. Our Padrino guides are almost all woefully outdated and unmaintained and our website is old and rusty. We are fortunate to have Matthias Gunther working tirelessly on the awesome Padrino Book but we recognize we need to do better. To get things going, we have merged all of our markdown docs into the main padrino code repository.

We realize this is only a small first step and we know that one of the biggest roadblocks to a real 1.0 release is a substantial refresh of our documentation and our website. More updates about this soon. If anyone is interested in helping with the documentation effort, please reach out to us.
