[ANN] Rails 0.13.1: Faster for all, eager limits, more Ajax

[David Heinemeier Hansson]

We've returned the default MySQL/Ruby bindings to their former glory,
made sure development mode on big applications didn't get penalized on
resetting the object space, and cut WEBricks lust to have a new
database connection per request. All changes that actually allows
Rails 0.13.1 to live up to the promise of better performance for
everyone.

Additionally, we've made it possible to use :limit and ffset
together with eager loading of has_one and belongs_to associations
(has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many will still not work due to the
nature of how SQL joins work).

And of course there's a big bag of delicious script.aculo.us additions
and fixes.


In case you missed it, we've also release a new video to show case
Rails (50MB/QuickTime):

And the book, Agile Web Development with Rails, is out of beta:

Additionally, we've made it possible to use :limit and ffset

limit and offset useful for pagination? Does this work with the db2 driver?
