…performance boost as well as an associated reduction in bandwidth consumption. Building an API that generates plists is straightforward with the help of a couple of Ruby gems.
I'll be sharing code examples from a recent project that surfaced a large, multi-faceted API to hundreds of iOS devices using binary plists. I'll also have plenty of resources for those interested in learning more. It's sure to be a great time! Hope to see you there.

…an WEBrick servlet that can serve HTML from an ri store. (This means that RubyGems 2.0+ no longer needs to build HTML documentation when installing gems.)
Changes since RDoc 3.12.1:
Breaking changes
The default output encoding for RDoc is now UTF-8. Previously RDoc used the default external encoding which was determined from your locale. Issue #106 by Justin Baker.
RDoc:: RI::Store is now RDoc::Store so ri data generated by RDoc 4 cannot be read by earlier versions …

…situation improve. We're already using Ruby, so we should be able to tap into the RubyGems ecosystem properly from the start. If there's one way we can prove that RubyMotion can win in the long-term, it's by showing how easily it can link to both battle-tested Objective-C libraries and the Ruby community's favorite gems.

RubyMotion's rake based workflow is wonderful. Run one command, and it compiles the app and launches the simulator …

On Wednesday a new version of the net-ssh gem was released that modified its dependencies on other Ruby libraries. These changes caused Rubygems to be unable to calculate a set of dependencies for a number of applications, including Chef. This made it not possible to install Chef from a gem package without extensive workarounds. We immediately began work on releasing a new version of Chef Client 11 and 10. Although it was theoretically possible for users of the Omnibus packages to be affected …

Rubygems used YAML to hold metadata about each gem submitted to it. An attacker was able to create a malicious gem, cause the Rubygems web application to evaluate the metadata contained in it, and thereby compromise the Rubygems server infrastructure.
February will see more compromises, with my certainty of this prediction approaching my certainty that the sun will rise tomorrow. There exist many, many other code paths in Rails to get to YAML.load(). Some of them will be found to …
