Ruby on Rails 4.2 landed in Rawhide, 22

[Josef Stribny]

Hi all,

I finished the work on the Ruby on Rails 4.2 change[0]. Rails 4.2 is now built for Fedora Rawhide and 22.

The most significant additions in 4.2 are:

- Active Job
- Asynchronous mails
- Adequate Record
- Web Console
- Foreign key support
- GlobalID

Check the release notes[1] for details.

You can help to test the new update as follows:

su -c "yum install rubygem-{rails,sqlite3,coffee-rails,sass-rails,uglifier,jquery-rails,turbolinks,jbuilder,therubyracer,sdoc,spring,byebug,web-console}"
rails new app --skip-bundle && cd app
sed -i "s|# gem 'therubyracer'|gem 'therubyracer'|" Gemfile
rails s

I would also like to thank Vit for getting some of the new gems to Fedora.

Best Regards
Josef
