Timecop 0.3.4 has just been released. To install simply run: gem install timecop.
Timecop is a RubyGem providing “time travel” and “time freezing” capabilities, making it dead simple to test time-dependent code. It provides a unified method to mock Time.now, Date.today, and DateTime.now in a single call.

I typically leverage rewrite rules to take my sites offline for maintenance. Most users will be familiar with the following Apache rewrite ruleset.

Just a heads up that I’ve released 0.2.3. You can update with:
sudo gem install environmentalist
The only substantial change in this release is that we moved the loading of postboot.rb to the bottom of the boot.rb file as opposed to the top of config/environment.rb. This was necessary because common db rake tasks like db:create and db:drop stopped loading the environment in 2.3.2.
As a recap, environmentalist provides an executable that converts a rails app’s config structure. The basic idea is that environments themselves are now first-class citizens, allowing you to create several environments (e.g. staging, prodtest, demo, etc.) in a clean, organized fashion. Each environment is given its own folder where it can store its own set of configuration files (think mongrel configs, apache configs, etc.) without polluting the top-level config/ directory.
I just released version 0.2.0 of this evening (morning).
The primary feature added was the distinction between “freezing” and “rebasing” time. In 0.1.0, Timecop.travel would actually freeze time. This is no longer the case. Rather, a time offset will be calculated, and a running clock is simulated by always offsetting the time returned by Time.now (and friends) by the original offset.
(Note that time can still be frozen with Timecop.freeze.)
