SupeRails chat
Yaro released a podcast episode with Amanda Perino about Rails World. Bookmark the page. I think you'll see something cool there soon.
Short Ruby Newsletter is back in one piece
Lucian ran a test to see if there's more value in having two newsletters (Code and Content) separately. I think folks voted for the "one for all" strategy.
There's still fantastic content, from cool snippets to what's happening in the community, so subscribe if you haven't.
Friendly.rb
Friendly is coming along so nicely! We booked most of the main speakers and kept a slot for lightning talks. So stay close for announcements in the following weeks.
We still have eight more sponsorship spots next to Andy Croll and Flagrant, so if you have a Ruby product or company and want to support a cool event, come check us out.
Avo 3
Avo 3 is coming along nicely. Some of our beta testers have pushed it to production already. If you want to see a live Avo 3 app, check avodemo.com.
See you at RailsSaas π¬π·
Next week Yaro and I will hang out at RailsSaas in Athens, so if you want to spend a lovely weekend on a Greek island with us, send us a message.
That's about it for this week.
Thank you for being awesome!

Thank you to our contributors
I just want to thank all our contributors. Avo wouldn't be what it is today without them.
avo.cool/contributors
This week we've had tremendous contributions from Jim, Stephen, and Roman. Thank you!
Avo 3 closed beta is starting this week
We will send over the Avo 3 closed beta instructions this week. Unfortunately, we went into a deep rabbit hole on updating and reorganizing the docs, so you know how to get the best of Avo 3.
That is why we've been a bit laggy on the chat and repo. We really want to ship Avo 3, fix those nasty bugs, make the API the best possible, and properly launch Avo 3 publicly so we can get back to the regular release schedule.
https://docs.avohq.io/3.0/avo-3.html
Friendly.rb
We published the new and only Community Sponsorship package, where all sponsors get all the value. There are only 9 spots left, so reach out if you have a Ruby product or company and you'd like to support the community.
Thank you for all your support and contributions βοΈ

Hey everyone π
Another hefty release today. We broke a few things, fixed a few things, and released cool features.
πΈ Features
- inheritassociationfrom_policy
- files view type
- Add helpers for encoding/decoding filter params
π Bug Fixes
- readonly as proc bug
- ActiveStorage current url_options should be set as a hash of url options
- avoid form manipulation on non-visible fields
- tailwindcss generator
- another approach on attachments field level authorization
- disable sorting on id field
- allow field visible false
π€ Maintenance
- support view component v3 by updating slot setter methods to new with_* API
- update nokogiri
- Remove orphan closing tags from SVGs
Breaking changes
Make sure you check your visible field option. It's going to be executed on the create and update actions, so when you create or save a record. So if you're doing some kind of check for visibility there based on the actual record, please check it out.
We are now enforcing the view_component gem with a version of 2.54 or higher in order to have view_component 3.0 working, so ensure that your app works with 2.54.
Good first issues
We have a few PRs that are easy to tackle and a few where we need help, so check them out and if you have some time we'd love to have your contributions.
https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc+label%3A%22Help+wanted%22
Avo 3
We received about 20 requests for trying out the new Avo version 3. We'll finish up the docs and then start rolling out the closed beta.
PLRUG and other meetups
I loved going to PLRUG and Visuality.pl to speak to other ruby developers about Avo. I think that presentation not only made it click for them on how Avo works but I also highlighted a few cool things they can do with it.
So, I'm open on doing more demos like that one in your meetup, conference, or software house.
Friendly.rb is still on
We know that we were in a bit of a radio silence about Friendly.rb after the announcement of Rails World, but we're happy to say that we're still going forward with our plans in throwing the best conference where you want to go this fall.
We have some cool talks prepared, nice activities, and the best swag.
