José Valim a5dda97602 Define a convention for descendants and subclasses. The former should be symmetric with ancestors and include all children. However, it should not include self since ancestors + descendants should not have duplicated. The latter is symmetric to superclass in the sense it only includes direct children. By adopting a convention, we expect to have less conflict with other frameworks, as Datamapper. For this moment, to ensure ActiveModel::Validations can be used with Datamapper, we should always call ActiveSupport::DescendantsTracker.descendants(self) internally instead of self.descendants avoiding conflicts.		2010-07-05 13:01:27 +02:00

= Active Support -- Utility classes and standard library extensions from Rails

Active Support is a collection of various utility classes and standard library extensions that were found useful
for Rails. All these additions have hence been collected in this bundle as way to gather all that sugar that makes
Ruby sweeter.


== Download

The latest version of Active Support can be found at

* http://rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=182

Documentation can be found at 

* http://as.rubyonrails.com


== Installation

The preferred method of installing Active Support is through its GEM file. You'll need to have
RubyGems[http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl] installed for that, though. If you have it,
then use:

  % [sudo] gem install activesupport-1.0.0.gem


== License

Active Support is released under the MIT license.


== Support

The Active Support homepage is http://www.rubyonrails.com. You can find the Active Support
RubyForge page at http://rubyforge.org/projects/activesupport. And as Jim from Rake says:

   Feel free to submit commits or feature requests.  If you send a patch,
   remember to update the corresponding unit tests.  If fact, I prefer
   new feature to be submitted in the form of new unit tests.

For other information, feel free to ask on the ruby-talk mailing list
(which is mirrored to comp.lang.ruby) or contact mailto:david@loudthinking.com.
