MySQL Bigint Obsoleted by Rails 2.1
According to this: http://blog.codefront.net/2008/04/27/living-on-the-edge-of-rails-18/ the functionality provided by the MySQL Bigint has finally been integrated into the recently released Rails 2.1, and I’ve gotten reports from a couple of users on this, though I haven’t tried it myself yet.
I’ll continue to support the plugin for older versions of Rails, but I won’t be doing anything other than bugfixes. I may also move the plugin to git hub with the rest of my projects in a couple of weeks. If that happens I’ll announce it here.
Finally, thanks to Mike Mangino of http://www.elevatedrails.com for mentioning the plugin in his RailsConf 2008 talk on Facebook apps. You can see the details, and download the slides, of the talk here: http://en.oreilly.com/rails2008/public/schedule/detail/1829.
