MongoMapper 0.9 Release

Posted by Brandon Keepers on April 12, 2011

After months of hard work rewriting MongoMappers internals to use ActiveModel, MongoMapper 0.9 is finally here.

Changelog

• A whole lot of Rails 3 goodness.
• mongo_mapper:config and mongo_mapper:model generators. Commit and Commit
• XML serialization thanks to ActiveModel. Commit
• Added :typecast option for array keys. Commit
• Deprecated on plugin structure in favor of using ActiveSupport::Concern. Commit
• Added :autosave option to associations. Commit and Commit
• Many, many bug fixes

See the full change log. This release is not a drop in replacement for 0.8, so check out UPGRADES for things that have changed.

Credits

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this release. Especially Brian Ryckbost and Chris Gaffney at Collective Idea for starting the rails3 branch and doing the grunt of the initial work.

Roadmap

The 0.9 series will hopefully be very short-lived, with 1.0 coming soon. But before we can get to 1.0, we have a handful of issues to resolve and a lot of documentation to write. So go fork the repo and lend a hand!
