Formtastic 0.9.9 & 0.9.10 Released

Published 26 May 10 by Justin French

I was hoping that the next Formtastic release was a 1.0.beta, but the recent Rails 2.3.6 2.3.7 2.3.8 release spurred us to issue 0.9.9 0.9.10 to maintain compatibility.

There were some features added and other changes made since 0.9.8 so here’s the changes:

• Changed date/time inputs to default to nil instead of Time.now when the object has no value (due to deprecation warning, #240)
• Changed the behaviour of associations with a :class_name option to be more consistent with what Rails expects
• Fixed issues relating to Rails 2.3.6 automatically escaping ERB
• Fixed issues with Ruby 1.9.1 and Haml
• Added the :disabled option to check_boxes input
• Added translation support for nested models (thanks to Toni Tuominen)

I’d especially like to thank yabawock for his ridiculously fast work back-porting some of the changes in our rails3 branch into master for this release. I love this community!

Update: We had to push up an 0.9.10 release to fix an i18n incompatibility with Rails 2. Embarrassing, sorry we missed it. If you’re one of the 24 people who installed 0.9.9, please grab 0.9.10!
