Datamapper DataMapper

IMO, the created_at (and updated_at) properties that you get from using dm-timestamps should be set when creating an object with #new as well as with #create. At the moment, I have to override the initialize method to call set_timestamps manually.

Here's a spec to prove the failing behaviour (if you consider to be failing!)

Thoughts?

else
  DM_GEMS_VERSION   = "0.10.0"
  DO_GEMS_VERSION   = "0.10.0"
end
