Refinery CMS, often shortened to Refinery, is an open source content management system written in Ruby as a Ruby on Rails web application with jQuery used as the JavaScript library. Refinery CMS supports Rails 3.2 [2] and Rails 4.0 via 3.0.0.dev, still in development.
Refinery differs from similar products by targeting a non-technical end user and allowing the developer to create a flexible website rapidly by staying as close as possible to the conventions of the Ruby on Rails framework. [3]
Version 1.0.0 was released [4] on 28 May 2011 - exactly 2 years after it was first released as open source software.
Version 2.0.0 was released [5] on 29 February 2012.
Version 2.1.0 was released [6] on 5 August 2013.
Refinery started as a closed sourced project written by David Jones at Resolve Digital in 2004 [7] and went on to be released as open source software under the MIT License on 28 May 2009. [8] Since then it has, under the direction of Philip Arndt and Uģis Ozols, gained popularity [9] and is now the most popular Ruby on Rails CMS [10] with more than 200 contributors [11] and an active community extending the application with engines.
