Hi readers, happy 2009!
The last Ruby Enterprise Edition sponsorship campaign was a huge success, and as a result many improvements have been introduced into REE.
We’ve just launched a second sponsorship campaign with the goal of adding more improvements into REE. This time, the campaign is public so everybody can join. Please read about it here.
Thank you for your support!
This is a minor bugfix release. Please read the Phusion blog for the announcement.
Ruby Enterprise Edition (REE) is a branch of the official Ruby interpreter which is capable of reducing your Rails applications’ memory usage by 33% on average, as well as improving your applications’ performance. This is possible because REE includes copy-on-write enhancements for the garbage collector, as well as an improved memory allocator (tcmalloc). REE has been out for several months now and is already used by many high-profile websites and organizations, such as New York Times, Shopify and 37signals.
“We switched to enterprise ruby to get the full benefit of the [copy-on-write] memory characteristics and we can absolutely confirm the memory savings of 30% some others have reported. This is many thousand dollars of savings even at today’s hardware prices.” – Tobias Lütke (Shopify)
And just like Phusion Passenger, Ruby Enterprise Edition is 100% open source.
REE has just become better. We had been talking with DHH from 37signals about a possible sponsorship campaign for supporting REE development. The campaign has recently ended, and so we’re presenting the world with Ruby Enterprise Edition version 1.8.6-20081205.

Phusion Passenger is an Apache module for deploying Ruby on Rails web applications, and is mainly focused on ease of use and stability. Since its first release in April 2008, it has gained quite a lot of attention from the Rails community, and nowadays it has become a very popular deployment tool.
We have recently been mentioned on live.37signals.com where David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails, has given his praise to Phusion Passenger. Not too long ago, 37signals switched Ta-da List to Phusion Passenger, and are now in the progress of switching more websites.
live.37signals.com isn’t broadcasting right now, but you can find recordings at justin.tv.
Phusion Passenger is under constant maintenance and development. We are pleased to announce Phusion Passenger version 2.0.5. This is mainly a bugfix release. Please read http://blog.phusion.nl/2008/12/05/phusion-passenger-205-released-mentioned-on-live37signalscom/ for the full announcement.

Tobias Lütke has recently announced that Shopify is now running Phusion Passenger:
“In conclusion: I cannot see any reason to choose a different deployment strategy at this point. Its simple, complete, fast and well documented.” —
Tobias Lütke
Even 37signals is now using Phusion Passenger. They’ve recently announced that they’ve switched Ta-da List to Phusion Passenger:
“We’re really impressed with the ease of deployment and stability under Passenger. The app now requires less than 10 lines of configuration to launch and deploy.” — Joshua Sierles
Phusion Passenger is under constant maintenance and development. We are pleased to announce Phusion Passenger version 2.0.4. This is mainly a bugfix release, but contains one new feature. Please read http://blog.phusion.nl/2008/12/01/phusion-passenger-204-released-37signalss-ta-da-list-now-using-passenger/ for the full announcement.
