With Merb 1.0 right around the corner, we’re buckling down and making sure that Merb is rock-solid by October 11.

A bunch of features have landed or are landing over the weekend:

Taking advantage of Ruby Enterprise to reduce memory overhead
Simplifying deployment of Merb clusters
Improving the errors that Merb spits out when something goes wrong inside Merb.
Fixing an infrastructure problem that caused Merb’s logger to cause thread-safetiness issues in JRuby. Also resolve the comingling of logged information for multiple requests in threaded environments.
Fix several bugs in merb_helpers that were driving people nuts when trying to do non-standard things.

More on the first two this Monday. We’ve been doing a lot of work to make deploying Merb apps simple and efficient.

Have a great weekend!

Just a reminder folks: MerbCamp is October 11-12.

The conference is going to feature a large number of short talks about various features of Merb, as well as keynotes by Ezra Zygmuntowicz, who originally wrote Merb, and me. I’ll be giving the closing keynote about the future of Merb, as well as short talks on testing and jQuery.

This is going to be the biggest gathering of Merb folks thus far, but tickets are selling out fast. Register today!

I have uploaded the files that I will use for my demonstration at @media. The slides will come later today after my talk. The easiest way to browse the files are via github. You can either browse the files online, get them via git, or download a tarball of the entire thing.

If you’re at @media, feel free to download the files and follow along.
