Piotr,

> I'm happy to announce that we have released DataMapper 1.2.0.rc1.

BTW thanks for doing this RC release!

Just for everyone on the mailing list: this is the first release we've
done in several years where I didn't manage the gem release process
because we are trying to get more people involved so that I'm not a
bottleneck. Ideally we would like to have at least 3 people who can
release DataMapper if needed.

It might not seem very difficult, but coordinating the release of a
couple dozen gems all at one time is quite time consuming and complex.
I'm hoping that by having a few other people do the release we can
find ways to automate the process even further. The ultimate goal is
to be able to release every gem with a single command, but we're still
a little way from that.

For this RC I would highly encourage everyone in the community to try
to upgrade their apps and run the specs with these gems. It's always
been a requirement in 1.x that DataMapper.finalize is called before
using resource objects, but up until this release the system would
still somewhat function if you forgot. With this release lots of stuff
is probably going to break if you forget to finalize. I would
encourage you to run your specs so you can identify these problems in
the specs sooner rather than a few months from now when you forget
about this message and wonder why DM is blowing up on you.
