Over a year in the making, this is a huge release for haml & sass. Both have new websites: http://haml-lang.com and http://sass-lang.com

Congratulations to the author, Hampton Catlin, and he has many appreciative users who are excited about these releases. Sass makes CSS so much better.

This release is mainly the work of Nathan Weizenbaum and Chris Eppstein, with a bunch of contributions from other Rubyists. I don't think Hampton worked on this release, and he hasn't been active in Haml/Sass development for a while. That's no knock on Hampton; there's just a tendency to give most of the credit to the initial author of anything (think Perl, or Linux), and in this case other people deserve a bunch of credit, too.

Does this mean we can finally use Compass without all the Haml gem dependency problems (or the edge-gem which has been recently employed)?

chriseppstein6• 17 years ago

Yes. I just released a new gem: http://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/blob/master/CHANGELO...

I didn't have a chance yet to say thanks. I've asked about multiple load paths watch on compass group and it works now, and cache issues (bugs) on windows seem to be gone as of today - this is pure awesome!

Sass makes managing css a breeze. Congrats to all involved

I still haven't updated, can anyone tell me is there a plan, or is it in as of now, to have html attributes the output the way I put them in haml and not alphabetically?

I've started using compass/960 a month ago or two, best thing since sliced bread!

chriseppstein6• 17 years ago

There is a new attribute syntax that is more html-like. But, I'm not sure if the behavior you speak of has changed. That said, html attributes have no semantic order to them, so that change would be purely aesthetic.

Yes, we intend to do this as much as possible in the future.

I can't say enough good things about Haml and SaSS. If you haven't used it in any of your projects yet install it right now.

If you love SASS you should check out Compass as well, I use them together and it makes my CSS so much easier to work with!!

Haml, SASS, Compass all look really neat. Anyone have experience with integrating them into Django or other Python framework?

jpcx01• 17 years ago

Awesome! Though... what happened to 2.1?

chriseppstein6• 17 years ago

Haml uses odd number for unstable releases, even numbers for stable releases. 2.1 became 2.2 when it got released.
