Bug Fixes:

* Apps using plugins were not able to set the appserver option

Enhancements:

* RhoConnect will detect REDISTOGO_URL environment variable to make it even easier to deploy directly to Heroku.

This is another great presentation brought to you by Marakana Tech TV. In this session, Matt Kelly, Lead Software Engineer at interaction design firm ZURB, discusses solutions for rapidly prototyping sites and web apps that work on any kind of device, at any resolution. I will definitively have to spend some more time looking at ZURB's Foundation framework.

Using RhoConnect without Rhodes: Objective C Client API

The RhoConnect Client is a library that adds sync data capability to your non-Rhodes applications, such as applications created in XCode or Android Java. Using this library, you can enable synchronized data between your Objective C iOS device application and a RhoConnect server.
