[Radiant] Radiant 0.6 RC1

[John W. Long]

After a hard day’s work the core team is pleased to announce the 
immediate release of Radiant 0.6 RC1! Lots of changes have gone into 
this release—too many to enumerate them all at this time of night. 
Suffice it to say that the focus of this release has been the new 
extension system. We’ll make sure there is a complete list of new 
features when this becomes the official release, but for now we want to 
submit it to you for feedback and testing.

To give it a whirl:

1. Download the gem:
    http://johnwlong.com/downloads/radiant-0.6.0rc1.gem

2. Install it using:
    $ gem install radiant-0.6.0rc1.gem

3. Use the Radiant command to create a fresh project:
    $ radiant -d sqlite3 path/to/your/project

4. Edit config/database.yml to taste.

5. Run the new bootstrap rake task:
    $ cd path/to/your/project
    $ rake production db:bootstrap

6. Configure and start it up on your favorite Web server:
    $ script/server -e production

One aspect of this new release that we would especially like feedback on 
is that the new Radiant gem now contains it’s own copy of Rails. Since 
we have been binding each release of Radiant to a specific Rails version 
we thought it prudent to go ahead and package Rails with Radiant. This 
has the side benefits of simplifying dependencies and making booting easier.
