A big part of Wheels’s included ORM is its use of associations to describe relationships between models. It’s been a long time coming, but we released a chapter in the Docs about associations along with the 0.9.1 release of ColdFusion on Wheels.

Wheels 0.9: The Final Final Beta Cycle
We’re happy to announce a significant maintenance release of Wheels: version 0.9. We’re also running out of decimal points on the way to 1.0. I don’t think we’ll do anything cheap like version 0.10. 🙂 Consider this the final beta cycle.
I asked Per how many bugs were fixed in this release, and he answered, “Tons.”

Wheels 0.8.2 Released
The Wheels community has been finding some bugs here and there, which has resulted in an improved product for everyone.

Keep the feedback coming, everyone!
Wheels 0.8.3: Our Final Beta Release?
You probably didn’t see this one coming, at least not so soon… Wheels 0.8.3.
I’m most excited to announce that this release introduces support for Railo Express 3.0. As soon as the open sourced Railo 3.1 is released, we’ll have an opportunity to offer a full-stack open source CFML environment similar to Ruby on Rails. Many thanks to Wheels’s Peter Amiri and the Railo team for their efforts in getting this working.

Way-New Collaboration
Update: I wrote this blog post because I was fired up. Of course, I realize that you’re looking at the blog about Rails for ColdFusion. I was merely trying to get you to see the significance of what we’re doing here. Apologies if anyone thought that I was slamming the project. It really is a great thing!
I’ve been addicted to TED Talks for the past couple years. Recently, I caught up with a talk by author Howard Rheingold, called Way-new collaboration. (For those of you in RSS Land, click through to see the video.)

New Documentation: Using Layouts Chapter & New Tutorials
Right now is a pretty good time to be learning ColdFusion on Wheels. You can review the documentation that’s been written and learn as we write new chapters. So far, I’m guessing that it would be pretty easy to keep up with us!
If you haven’t been keeping up with the conversation in the discussion group, we’ve been producing some great new material. Up in the Docs are 2 new videos and 2 new written chapters.
