As the book gets updated, its easy to miss important additions. I just discovered the lone wolf section when going back from where I'm currently working, which has great insight. Could there be  a more effective way to highlight such changes for each new release. Perhaps publishing a diff of the text between versions as part of the release process

All best

A git repo would be awesome.

[Nathaniel Bibler]

A repo would be nice, but it goes against the "only paid users get
access until release" issue. Unless it's a private repo, and then
Avdi has to manage user access, and if it's on GitHub it'll get
prohibitively expensive, etc.

In the short term, it's an HTML document. You could just do a *nix
`diff` to see the diffs in the .html file, or even just paste it into
a private gist and see it change overtime.

If you want to generate a slightly fancier diff, this might help:

Indeed. Some folks on the list may recall when there was a giant gap in updates as I tried to work on tooling. This is exactly what I was working on. I'm actually a lot of the way there, but I just couldn't justify putting off content updates any longer. Believe me, both text diffs and report access are on my TODO list.

I haven't read it yet, but based on the name, I think I'm going to like it. Good call on adding it.

I'd love to see AR relegated to a persistence layer only, completely separated from the domain objects.

I would too, as it's something I'm playing with on my own right now. 

On the other hand, I can't shake the feeling that it's kind of missing the point of Rails.

Oh, thanks for reminding me. I forgot about that since the last time I read through.
