Subject: Re: [ANN] Active Record 0.8.1: Object-level transactions, generic connector

Excellent work so far, David. I've been playing around with  
ActiveRecord, (re-)building a web application (re- because I started  
building it during our spring semester, although it was never in a  
working or complete state) using AR to map to the database.

I tried installing from the tarball, and got the following error:

% irb1.8 -r active_record
/usr/local/stow/ruby-1.8.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/active_record/ 
transactions.rb:1:in `require': No such file to load --  
active_record/vendor/simple.rb (LoadError)
         from  
/usr/local/stow/ruby-1.8.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/active_record/ 
transactions.rb:1

Digging a little deeper, it appears that install.rb just neglects to  
install simple.rb. Here's a patch:

Keep up the good work�like many folks, I'm really excited to see the  
other half of Rails.
