Mobile Support, More Responsive Design, and Rails 4.2.4

Today we released a major update to BoxCycle. The most notable user-facing improvements are support for mobile devices, more responsive design across screen sizes, and geolocation support. Although this update leaves some imperfections in mobile and responsive design, we hope that it significantly enhances the mobile experience and gives us a strong base from which to grow.

On the technical end, google maps has been updated to version 3 and our infrastructure has been upgraded from Rails 3.2.21 to Rails 4.2.4 which allowed us to increase caching, remove old cruft, and improve speed, reliability, and maintainability.

A lot of changes were required for this release; please let us know of any problems you run into.
