Abstract: Updated Release Notes
3rdRail™ Release Notes
These notes apply to the 3rdRail 1.1 Release.
For updates to these notes,
see https://dn.codegear.com/article/37645.
Post Installation Instructions
Confirm the Installation
To confirm a good installation from the command prompt or the shell:
- Run
ruby -v. This should return: Ruby version 1.8.5 or higher.
- Run
rails -v. This should return: Rails version 1.2 or higher.
Configure the Ruby Interpreter
After installing and launching 3rdRail you will need to specify a “workspace”, which is a container directory for your projects. You can create new workspaces and switch workspaces from within 3rdRail. For every new workspace you will need to specify a Ruby interpreter.
From the IDE to configure the Ruby interpreter:
- Select
Window->Preferences->Ruby->Interpreters.
- Either try the
Search... button or Add and browse for the ruby executable file in the Ruby installation directory.
- Once the installed Ruby interpreter is shown in the Ruby Interpreters list, ensure its checkbox is checked and click
OK.
Note: Selection lists for gem install and script/plugin install may be slow during their initial use.
New Features in this Version
In this release, we have continued to add support for new Rails 2.0 features. For more information see the "What's New" Help topic.
Product Updates
