New version of the DB2 Ruby on Rails support is out

Our development team just released version 1.1.1 of the IBM_DB gem which provides support for using Ruby on Rails with DB2 and IDS. The new gem provides support for Activerecord 2.3.3 and a fix for a defect that will let us implement support for a popular Ruby on Rails application. Antonio Cangiano will no doubt blog about this as soon as he is done (any day now).

JRuby team leaves SUN/Oracle and goes to Engine Yard

Oracle’s acquisition of SUN seems to be unraveling in a number of areas. Citing lack of certainty (guess it means “uncertainty”) the JRuby team decided to leave SUN/Oracle and join Engine Yard. As Antonio Cangiano pointed in his blog, JRuby is indeed critical to the adoption of Ruby on Rails in the enterprise. Given Engine Yard’s commitment to Ruby on Rails this is a great move for the Ruby community. We wish JRuby and Engine Yard teams the best.

DB2onRails.com will be cheering  for you!
