Hello,

Haml 4.0.1.rc.1 has been released! 4.0.1 will be a bugfix release that
neither changes or introduces any features.

A summary of the changes follows:

* Fix support for the Rails 4 `text_area` helper method.
* Fix support for sass-rails 4.0 beta.
* Fix data attribute flattening with singleton objects.
* Remove Rails 3.2.3+ textarea hack in favor of a more general solution.
* Fix some performance regressions.

The final two changes touch a reasonably significant amount of code,
therefore I've decided to do a release candidate gem even though this is a
very minor release.

As was discussed recently on this list, Haml 4.0.0 shipped with performance
regressions, despite my claim in the release notes that it had "better
performance" than Haml 3.1.8. This was an oversight on my part and I
apologize for the inaccurate claim.

Haml 4.0.1.rc.1 has performance that is close to that of Haml 3.1.4, which
was the previously best-performing version of Haml. You can see more
details and benchmarks in this commit:

https://github.com/haml/haml/commit/2efd12f27e3d5e60bcbe1b34a9507518262747e4

Performance will be a focus of development going forward until we've
significantly exceeded the performance of 3.1.4. The code currently in
master is already slightly faster than 3.1.4 for compiled Haml in ugly
mode, which is how Haml is used in production in Rails apps.

Anyway, please do give 4.0.1.rc.1 a try and let us know if you come across
any issues.

If no bugs are discovered, then I will release it as 4.0.1 with no code
changes a week from today.

Thanks,

Norman
