RailsConf 2011, David Heinemeier Hansson
summary
Rails 3.1 introduces the asset pipeline that enforces structure (empty folders) and a load path so assets live in app/assets, lib/assets, vendor/assets instead of one junk drawer; it adds CoffeeScript and Sass defaults, a jQuery-rails gem, Sprockets preprocessing, and bundler-managed asset gems. Assets precompile with MD5 fingerprinting via rake assets:precompile, eliminate param cache busting, and support compressors and gzip. PJAX, Backbone/Eco and server-rendered JS templates let apps mix page replacement, localized rich widgets, and full client MVC where needed.
