Redmine

Here is the result of a quick test comparing Redmine load performance with Rails 1.2.6 and Rails 2.0.2.

This test was done on my workstation using openwebload. Redmine was running on 3 Mongrel instances with Pound as the load balancer. Fragment caching was disabled for this test.
The following shows the maximum Tps¹ the application could handle.

Of course, these numbers fully depends on your hardware configuration and data but we can clearly see the performance improvements provided by Rails 2.0.

¹ Transactions per second (computed by openwebload)

This release fixes a bug in Files section.

It can be downloaded in either .tar.gz or .zip format at Rubyforge.
The tarball is still freezed with Rails 1.2.6.

This release is mainly to fix Rails 2.0 compatibility issues.
One small functionality (the ability to search custom fields) is added and thus migration is required.

You can checkout the 0.6.2 tag or download the tarball at Rubyforge.
The tarball is freezed with Rails 1.2.6 and now includes action_web_service so you don't have to install it manually.

This release brings some new features, fixes a bunch of bugs and should be Rails 2.0 compatible.
You can have a look at the changelog.

As usual, this release can be donwloaded at Rubyforge.
