title: "Compass v0.12 (Release Candidate) is Released"
description: "Compass 0.12: Flexible Sprites, Rails Integration"
author: chris

Compass 0.12 release candidate is out! Install it now:
$ (sudo) gem install compass --pre
This release is primarily to support the Rails Asset Pipeline which
required major changes to the Compass internals. If you use rails
with Compass please read the [blog post about the new compass-rails
gem][compass-rails].
In addition to the rails improvements this release contains many updates
to Compass Sprites:
* **Sprite Layouts**: `vertical` (default), `horizontal`, `diagonal`, and `smart`
layouts are now available. Different layouts may allow you to use
sprites more easily with differing design requirements. The `smart`
layout will efficiently pack sprites of different sizes -- resulting
in smaller file sizes. To select a layout set the
`$<spritename>-layout` variable to your desired layout name.
* **Sprite Load Path**: Sprite source files can now be stored in more locations than
just your images directory. To add sprite locations in your compass
configuration: `sprite_load_path << 'my/sprite/folder'
* **Sprite output location**: If you need to output sprites to a
location other than the images directory set `generated_images_dir`,
`generated_images_path`, `http_generated_images_dir`, and
`http_generated_images_path` in your compass configuration according
to your needs. You can refer to images in your generated images
directory using the `generated-image-url()` function.
Additionally there are many new CSS3 improvements, bug fixes, and other
small enhancements that you can read about in the
[CHANGELOG](/CHANGELOG/).
What's next for Compass? The Sass 3.2 release is coming soon and I'd
very much like the 0.13 release of compass to take advantage of the
great features that it offers. Additionally, we're working on an
extension registry where you can post your compass extensions and
discover new ones. Lastly, we'll be extracting blueprint to a
compass extension as that project seems to have stagnated. I'd say
we're getting pretty close to a 1.0 release!
