Add compatibility for rails4

[acasajus]

Currently rails4 depends on activemodel v4 and ripple requires v3

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "activemodel":
  In Gemfile:
    ripple (>= 0) ruby depends on
      activemodel (= 3.0.0.beta) ruby

    rails (>= 0) ruby depends on
      activemodel (4.0.0.beta)

+1 I'm experimenting to see if this works: https://github.com/bluemont/ripple/commit/a9b5bad4c8f3fe06271ea7e25c9576cd25c2f9d4

Work needs to done regarding Observers and strong_parameters. Both are changed in Rails 4.

@bluemont it looks like your fork is gone. Any idea if anyone is actively working on this issue, now that Rails 4 is GA?

Would any of you @seancribbs or @myronmarston or @adamhunter please give me an idea of:

• how feasible is it to port ripple to rails4? I mean how much of rails 3 does ripple use?
• would you like to officially release ripple for rails 4, publishing to ruby gems?

Thanks

I have no idea. I've barely used rails 3.0, have never used rails 3.1 or 3.2, and will probably never use rails 4.

We're looking to update to rails 4, but this issue is blocking us; is anyone actively working on this?

+1 on updating ripple to work with rails 4.

I spoke in person to a Basho employee a couple of weeks ago, who said that ripple is considered abandoned. The ruby library is under active development, however, so you may be able to cobble something together with ActiveModel.

This is unfortunate. Is there a technical reason why Ripple is bandoned, or is it lack of time/interest from basho?
