"This release closes a JSON XSS vulnerability, fixes a couple of
minor regressions introduced in 1.2.4, and backports a handful of
features and fixes from the 2.0 preview release.
All users of Rails 1.2.4 or earlier are advised to upgrade to 1.2.5,
though it isn't strictly necessary if you aren't working with JSON.
For more information the JSON vulnerability, see CVE-2007-3227."
"This release contains additional deprecation notices, security
fixes and some minor performance improvements. All users of 1.2.3
are advised to upgrade."
Rails is a web-application framework for the MVC pattern that includes
both a template engine, controller framework, and object-relational
mapping package. Everything needed to develop web-apps that can run on
CGI, FastCGI, and mod_ruby
Being a full-stack framework means that all layers are built to work
seamlessly together. That way you Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) and you
can use a single language from top to bottom. Everything from templates
to control flow to business logic is written in Ruby - The language of
love for industry heavy-weights.
