Re: [Rails-devel] Further updates to Rails configuration

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik:
what do you mean manually? Editing files?
Creating new profiles is now automatically done each time someone
uses the saveas.. button. This only requires choosing a new profile name 
and it gets automatically available.
But maybe it is too magic now?

Still migration instructions will be included as they are very simple:
Change extension and copy it into the profiles subfolder of the 
application folder.

However I doubt that there have been many (non-eclipse and/or git) users 
of the previous setup(s) for configurations as that required migration 
every time a new version was installed, without any instructions for 
that provided.
