Accustomed to work with a well tested trunk, it was quite difficult
for me to ship an static release, but I understand that without a
clear release cycle, having a single download with a dev_preview tag,
it was difficult for our community to gain notoriety and attract
bright contributors.
There are some cool features that unpredictably managed to get into
this first release. The one I'm more exited about is the new plugin
system which allows us to package functionality and share it with
other Akelos developers.
There is some basic information about the plugins in the [wiki](http://
wiki.akelos.org) but should be enough for you to get started. In
future releases we will be moving core acts_as and some uncommon
helper to plugins so they can have their own maintainers and release
schedule.
Unluckily I did not get help for improving the API documentation for
this release, so that will have wait until a next one.
Talking about future releases, I would like to thank Kaste who is
heavily working on refactoring and improving the Active Record and the
Testing system. We are really lucky to have such a brilliant coder
actively working on the core team :)
Please help us on improving Akelos by submitting bug reports, patches
improving documentation/wiki and blogging the world about how
fantastic it is.
Happy coding
bye,
