Both the Ruby on Rails team and Apple have confirmed that the Ruby on Rails development framework will ship with the next version of OS X (Leopard). Ruby on Rails was included on the developer DVD version of Leopard, distributed at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco; the framework is also listed on the Leopard page at apple.com . 

"We’ve been thrilled to see the level of interest [Apple] have taken to get OS X to be a premiere development and deployment platform for Rails," said the Ruby on Rails team on their blog.  They expect Leopard to ship with Rails 1.2.x along with Mongrel, SQLite bindings, and "lots of other Ruby goodies" in spring 2007.

The OS X Leopard will also include Apache 2.2 or 1.3, MySQL 5 with Apache/MySQL/PHP integration, JBoss 4, and Tomcat 5 for hosting EJB 3.0 and J2EE 1.4-compliant enterprise applications.
