A new view helper has been added to WiceGrid, which allows to generate HTTP parameters understood by WiceGrid custom filters from outside of the grid. In other words, it is possible to generate links to pages with grids, and the grids will open with a custom filter already activated.
This is perfect for one-has-many relations, like in the example I have just added to WiceGrid examples.

Here comes WiceGrid version 3.2.0.pre2.
Differences from 3.2.0.pre1:
will_paginate is replaced by kaminari.grid helper two times. First, define_grid is used in the same way as grid, then grid_filter, and then render_grid(grid) to actually output the grid table .

WiceGrid is now compatible with the new Rails XSS behavior which will be default in Rails 3.0 and is available in Rails 2.3.5 with the help of the rails_xss plugin.
WiceGrid has started using merge_conditions to process conditions, and conditions can be in any format processable by ActiveRecord, including hashes of hashes. An intentional side effect of this is that WiceGrid does not support Rails older than 2.1.0.

To celebrate the release of SproutCore version 1.0 I have worked through their tutorial building a simple ToDo application.
Well. Impressive. The people behind it do know how Cocoa works and managed to take its MVC to the web.
The backend becomes a simple RESTful data provider implementing CRUD's for models, via JSON by default, but it can be any other data format. I used Rails as the backend, but really, Rails as a SproutCore backend seems an overkill - half of the Rails stack is not used. Sinatra with ActiveRecord feels more appropriate.
The only thing is that writing a DataSource, a class responsible for the communication with the backend, requires a bit too much code, more verbose that the code for models, views, and controllers.

Since version 0.3 WiceGrid has been able to store the state of filters and restore it later, but I never quite liked the API when it came to the integration of the functionality with the application logic, that's why the WiceGrid Examples application hasn't had the corresponding example. Now a simple example has been added.

I have just released dict_client 0.0.1.
The code was originally written by Dave Pearson, I have rewritten it partially and packaged it.
The Dictionary Server Protocol is a TCP transaction based query/response protocol that allows a client to access dictionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases. See RFC 2229 for details.
