…critical. If your API will be consumed by iOS devices, choosing binary property lists over XML or JSON can give you a 30% 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 …

9d9b22f4 is another tweak to loading, reversing some earlier decisions. Autoload paths and eager load paths will be separate for Rails 4.0 after all.
c9909db9 drops XML parsing from ActionDispatch. If you need it, you can pick upt he new actionpack-xml_parser gem.
d3688e02 removes the auto-explain option for ActiveRecord. You can still call explicitly ActiveRecord::Relation#explain. I'll miss this, but I know …

- A Fresh Cup: Double Shot #1073
When reading text nodes from an XML document, the REXML parser can be coerced in to allocating extremely large string objects which can consume all of the memory on a machine, causing a denial of service.
Impacted code will look something like this: document = REXML::Document.new some_xml_doc document.root.text
When the `text` method is called, entities will be expanded. An attacker can send a relatively small XML document that, when the entities are resolved, will consume extreme amounts …

Because of the new XML feed generated by Jekyll, it's also likely that many feed readers will show sixteen or so unread posts.

So Scala can manipulate XML as a language-level thing. This is both terrifying and, in the case of emitting HTML inline within a Scalatra action, useful. But the limit of this is that not-quite-valid XML, but perfectly reasonable HTML, will cause your Scala program to flat-out not compile. Ergo, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and move my HTML bits into an actual template ( commit ).
That turned out to be pretty easy. Read the Scalate ( Scalatra view templates) …
