Hello, 

Today we are proud to announce the release of Rack 1.3.4.

= Rack, a modular Ruby webserver interface 

Rack provides a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing web applications in Ruby.  By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called middleware) into a single method call.
The exact details of this are described in the Rack specification, which all Rack applications should conform to. 

== Changes

* October 1, 2011: Nineteenth public release 1.3.4
  * Backport security fix from 1.9.3, also fixes some roundtrip issues in URI
  * Small documentation update
  * Fix an issue where BodyProxy could cause an infinite recursion
  * Add some supporting files for travis-ci

== Where can I get it? 

You can download Rack 1.3.4 at 
        http://chneukirchen.org/releases/rack-1.3.4.tar.gz   (upload pending at time of writing)
                  http://rubyforge.org/projects/rack

Alternatively, you can checkout from the development repository with:
    git clone git://github.com/rack/rack.git
    cd rack && git checkout rack-1.3   # for this release

Happy hacking and have a nice day,

	James Tucker
	on behalf of the Rack Core Team.

How about updating [http://rack.rubyforge.org/]? After all, it’s the 
official homepage, and it gives a false impression that development has 
stopped in June 2010 (rack-1.2.0).

I'll get around to it sometime. I'd really like to add a bunch more automation to the release process that would include this kind of update.

As a first step, someone granted access rights to the webserver could remove all those outdated 
references from the webpage and instead just point to the github location. Later, once there was 
time to set up automation, all those references could come back again in an up-to-date way.
