Wheels 0.9.1 Available

We are excited to announce the availability of ColdFusion on Wheels 0.9.1. I personally can tell you that the core team and community have really outdone themselves with this release. It is a giant step toward an impending release candidate.

Here is a brief listing of what Wheels developers gain from this release:

• Ability to set global defaults for most functions' optional arguments
• Upgrade-friendly configuration settings
• Support for using multiple data sources (set on a per-model basis)
• Ability to group view helpers by controller
• Support for sending multi-part emails (HTML and plain text in same email)
• New PluginManager plugin that helps you find and install plugins
• Improved Railo support
• Lots of bug fixes and other minor improvements

Review the Upgrading to Wheels 0.9.1 chapter to see what you would need to change in your application when upgrading.

Because of the big changes to the way that configurations are done, we figured this would be a good time to finish the chapter on Configuration and Defaults.

More reference chapters and documentation on the functions in the Wheels API are in the works, so stay tuned.
