It's been quite some time that I've posted here, to my personal blog, so long in fact, that the publishing interface a'la Blogger now looks like MS Word. Or God forbid you remember, Word Perfect. (Yes, I am that old).

Capistrano 3, You've Changed! (Since Version 2)
James published another detailed gem about upgrading to Capistrano 3, and iterates over some of the most interesting changes in tasks, locations, command line, rollbacks and more. If you do deployment with Capistrano you need to read this.
