Selenium on Rails has been released to correspond with a session at http://windycityrails.org/sessions WindyCityRails talk.

The primary feature is that SOR now runs on Rails 2.1!  To update to that version install the plugin from http://svn.openqa.org/svn/selenium-on-rails/current/selenium-on-rails.  This release is not compatible with previous versions of Rails, but that version is still available at http://svn.openqa.org/svn/selenium-on-rails/tags/pre-rails-2-1/selenium-on-rails.  Other new features include:

• Configuration can be configured in the config/selenium.yml file instead of in the vendor/plugins directory, so you can check it into source.
• ERB can be used in fixtures just like Rails.

Two large changes aimed at making it easier to contribute have been implemented as well. The first is that the tests now run without being in the vendor/plugins directory, so we are one step closer to check-out run tests. The second is a new repo on github. The official release will always be installed here at OpenQA, but if you want to fork the repository or contribute changes you can get the edge version at http://github.com/paytonrules/selenium-on-rails.
