[ANN] Merb 0.9.7 "Universe In A Bundle" released.
Michael Klishin
Highlights of this release are:
* Merb bundler comes to replaces Merb freezer. Fabien Franzen did a
great job with it and written a tutorial you can find at Merbunity:
http://merbunity.com/tutorials/18
* Thor is now official Merb depenedency. It is used instead of Rake for bundler.
Expect Thor usage in Merb grow over time ;)
* Fixed bugs in new sessions implementation.
* Fixed plugin generators.
* Fixed some test helpers.
* No more libxml and memcached gems dependency.
* Session store that uses memcached now works with both memcached and
memcache-client libraries.
We did a short (5 days) release cycle to fix all the problems after
some large merges
right before 0.9.6.
== What to expect in Merb 0.9.8.
Merb 0.9.8 will feature new, very powerful but backwards incompatible
router and (hopefully) new merb cache.

API will be frozen till 1.0
on September 27th.
== Merb 1.0.
Merb 1.0 is going to be released at MerbCamp on Oct 11th to 12th. More
