Ruby on Rails 3.0 release candidate arrives
Delayed upgrade to the open source Web development framework features Merb influences in areas such as speed and plug-in capabilities

Without further ado, a release candidate of the popular open source Ruby on Rails 3.0 Web development framework has finally been made available, according to a blog post early this week.

The release candidate, which is usually the final stage before a general release of software, had been expected in early June at the end of the RailsConf technical conference. Instead, a fourth beta release was issued at the time.
