I apologize for being so silent since RailsConf. It’s been quite busy for me at work and home. I will see if I can get the next official release pushed to svn in the coming weeks. I have not yet looked into the 2.5.2 YUI release but will make sure it’s part of the next release of Yui4Rails. On a side note, I have updated the README in the github repo to be more accurate. If you have any comments or suggestions, please email me.

Otherwise, I’m getting ready to head out to RailsConf. I’ll be there Thursday afternoon. If you want to meet up, please send me an email to coordinate.

Let’s explore this approach with the latest widget that I’ve added, the carousel.
Before we dive into the code, let’s look at how the developer would use the carousel widget on one of his pages.

There have been some major changes under the hood and it will break if you don’t make a simple code change and you get the latest from the trunk. The zip and tarball versions, found on Rubyforge, are not affected by these yet. We’ll look for more testing and some hardening before we roll this out as a new release.

The event extension (for RadiantCMS) that I have been talking about and working on for nearly half a year has finally been released. You can see it in action on Boulder Ruby’s calendar page.

Loren Johnson already had done an event calendar extension but it was tied to an iCal feed and this was not how I wanted to manage the events. So this event extension is all about tying one of your pages to some date and time.
