Announcing the TorqueBox Project

What is TorqueBox?

The TorqueBox project develops the open-source, full-featured Ruby application platform built upon the research, code and success of the JBoss Rails project.

TorqueBox Server provides compatibility with Ruby frameworks such as Ruby-on-Rails, while also providing additional functionality.

• Job scheduling
• Task queues
• SOAP serving

Download TorqueBox Server

Today also marks the release of 1.0.0.Beta11 of the project. Downloads are available in a variety of forms.

Documentation continues to improve with each release, is browsable online, or downloadable in HTML and PDF formats.

Relationship to JBoss Rails

The JBoss Rails project is immediately retired, with all code and team members moving to the TorqueBox project.  Effectively, this is just a renaming of the project.

The former JBoss Rails mailing list will soon be retired.  The TorqueBox project provides several lists for your participation.

The Git repositories holding the former JBoss Rails code will remain indefinitely.  New development will occur within the TorqueBox repositories at GitHub.

Upcoming Events

The TorqueBox project will be represented at the JBoss booth at JavaOne.
