TorqueBox 1.0.0.Beta12 Released

We've just released version 1.0.0.Beta12 of the TorqueBox Server.

This release includes updates to documentation, repackaging of Ruby bits as bonafide RubyGems, and respecting the TorqueBox-shipped JRuby gem repository from within the server.

This change means much easier configuration of a Rails project for running on TorqueBox.  At this point, you only have to freeze Rails itself.  Other Gems you depend on may be used from TorqueBox the gem repository.

Additionally, this version of TorqueBox is based upon JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA, released over the weekend.

The documentation regarding preparing your Rails application for deployment on TorqueBox describes the necessary steps.

Per usual, you can browse the documentation, download the complete binary distribution, and participate on the mailing lists.
