Re: [Rails-devel] 1.0.7-rc1 is up

Brett,

Thanks.

I suppose you have compiled it under Java 1.6, because it did not run under
my Java 1.5 because of a "version error".
Fine with me, if this is really what we want. But I'm still maintaining code
compatibility with Java 1.5.
Would it still be possible to keep building Rails under Java 1.5?

To make starting Rails by clicking on a saved file work, I had to tweak
rails.bat.
In the first place, to make Rails pick up the saved file name, %* (or
possibly %1) needs be added to the end of the line.
For rails.sh that will be $* or $1.
For me, it was also necessary to put a cd into rails.bat, to enable Windows
finding the jar file.
Not sure if there's a better way to achieve that. My rails.bat now reads:

cd c:\projects\rails\releases\rails-1.0.7-rc1
java -jar rails-1.0.7-rc1.jar %*

Once this is in place, it works.
Perhaps we should somehow publish instructions on how to make this work?

One bug has crept in recently: I inadvertently had removed a
DisplayBuffer.clear() statement, so that now, when a save file is loaded,
all previous screen messages reappear. I will fix that. 
For the rest, on first sight all seems OK.

Erik.
