File Compare - Archive and Backup
Restore previous versions of backed up Rails view templates or whole HTML format Rails web pages using the Visual Rails Workbench and a differencing tool such as WinMerge or DiffMerge.
All In One Installer
Optionally, users may use our new installer to install Ruby, Rails, MySQL and a free Ruby-language copy of Visual Studio 2008.
The Visual Rails Workbench automatically backs up previous versions of your Rails templates and you also have the option to archive named versions of your completed page designs. Here I am using the WinMerge tool to compare a backup with the current template prior to restoring it.
