MagLev 23687 available including our first simple Rails3 example.

[Monty Williams]

It's been a month since I've written about a MagLev release.
MagLev-23687 represents a significant milestone for us
as it includes a Rails 3 Beta-4 example in
$MAGLEV_HOME/examples/rails/.

It's still early in our Rails effort. Lots of work remains
to get Rails 3 runing and then to tune performance. But we
only have a handful of changes to Rails itself:

For further details of improvements and bugfixes see:
http://github.com/MagLev/maglev/blob/master/Changes

Note: I'm cleaning up the download site by removing all
releases prior to 23611.

If you haven't upgraded in a while or are having problems,
we recommend you upgrade to this release.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

For an overview of basic installation instructions see
http://github.com/MagLev/maglev/blob/master/README.rdoc

To install this release using the files from MagLev-installer.zip:
./installMaglev.sh 23687 (only necessary the first time)
or
./upgradeMaglev.sh 23687 (if you've installed MagLev previously)

To install this release by updating a clone of the MagLev github
repository:
git pull
./update.sh
If you leave out the update step, you won't have the corresponding
version of GemStone. Updating using 'git pull' makes downgrading to
an earlier version very difficult. We suggest you save a copy of
your entire MagLev directory first.

To install this release using RVM (http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/):
rvm install maglev-23687
or
rvm install maglev-head

Warning: this update will install a new MagLev repository. If you
need to preserve the prior version, save a copy of your MagLev
directory before updating.

Monty,

Would you please remind me what to do to uninstall my ancient version and install the new one.

Hi Michael,

You don't have to do much. Instructions how to do this from GitHub or
RVM are on GitHub at
http://github.com/MagLev/maglev/blob/master/README.rdoc

Here's the closest to what you used last year:

1) Create a MagLev directory. Its name doesn’t matter. Put the
installer or git clone there.

2) Download and unzip the installer from maglev.gemstone.com/files/
MagLev-installer.zip

3) Run this (the first time) to install MagLev-23687

./installMaglev.sh 23687

4) Run this any future time (but using the later version number):

./upgradeMaglev.sh 23687

Thanks Monty. So I do not need to uninstall the old copy, or be sure to install in the same area to replace any components.

Each time you run installMaglev.sh or upgradeMaglev.sh the tarball is
extracted into a new subdirectory based on the version number you
asked it to install.

e.g. 'upgradeMaglev.sh 23741' creates MagLev-23741.Linux-x86_64 and
GemStone-23741.Linux-x86_64

While not strictly necessary, if you update from github it might be a
good idea to rename any prior checkout in case you need any former
components. e.g.

maglev stop
mv maglev maglev-old
git clone git://github.com/MagLev/maglev.git
cd maglev
./update.sh
