The beta period took a while because we wanted to ensure that the first stable release is indeed rock solid. People tend to say that one should skip "x.0.0″ releases and wait until "x.0.1″ for the first bug fixes. But we're confident enough about the stability of the 4.x series that we gave this first release …

Interacting with core classes (like Array and Hash) appears to be thread-safe with MRI because of the global lock. There are no such guarantees on the truly multi-threaded implementations like JRuby and Rubinius. I wrote about the effect of the global lock, and how to protect your data with mutexes .

Each request makes two database queries and renders a slim-based template.
