New in this version: improved installation and uninstallation scripts, better error pages when things go wrong, support for default virtual hosts, and support for Rack application reloading with tmp/always_restart.txt. See the full changelog here: http://pow.cx/manual#section_6

This version is also compatible with Showoff (http://showoff.io/): http://pow.cx/manual#section_4

Install or upgrade: curl get.pow.cx | sh

And let's just go ahead and get this out of the way now... Pow 0.3.0 is fully tinfoil-hat compliant. If you are averse to installing things the easy way using curl, feel free to build Node yourself and install Pow with npm: https://github.com/37signals/pow/wiki/Installation#installin...

Congrats on this release, Sam. Pow just keeps getting better!

Been using this for a bunch of Rails 2 apps and its ease of use is fantastic.

The always_reload feature is even better ... it means I can lose the sinatra_reloader gem. thats huge.

Awesome job guys!

Does it support JRuby yet?

Nope. Maybe once JRuby supports select() properly.
