-          Using ActiveRecord outside of Rails is useful for simple database 
interaction (migrations, for example), and in WinForms databinding with 
ActiveRecord.

-          New project to enable deploying Rack-based applications on IIS with 
IronRuby:

-          Direct integration with ASP.NET through ironruby-mvc:

-          Special thanks to contributors and starting projects based on 
IronRuby: http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby-contrib

o   More information on contributing to IronRuby: 
http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing

-          Project statics on http://ironruby.info: 84% RubySpec pass-rate.

-          Startup performance has also been a focus of improvement as of late, 
and by building an adaptive interpreter/compiler (like IronPython now has) 
Rails startup time decreased from about 85 to 30 seconds (2.8x improvement), 
without sacrifice for throughput performance!
