Argh, my pet ticket didn't make it in: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2188-i...

Still no 1.9 for me, then :/

Same here. There are also other encoding related bugs which I hoped to see fix.

But all in all, this is a solid release, with many fixes and improvements. Kudos to the people who made this possible.

I've been doing a lot of the encoding work on Rails 3. Curious what your issues are so I can be sure we get it right for Rails 3

I switched to Rails 3 (and Ruby 1.9.2-pre, which seems a lot more solid than 1.9.1 anyway) to get round this.

So have I actually, on some smaller projects, but it's going to be a major change to switch over larger ones. I'll be sticking on 2.3 with them for the time being.

Some nice changes there. Namespaces make it even more easy to work with legacy databases or mixing rails tables with say wordpress which prefixes all its tables with 'wp_'. Another nifty change w.r.t MySQL: positioning using :first => true and :after => :other_column. That allows us to keep the attributes in a nice order. Otherwise all the new columns used go below created_at and updated_at which was kind of ugly.

Awesome, the order of the DB columns was my biggest pet peeve with migrations

This morning I updated the Ruby on Rails Tutorial book (http://www.railstutorial.org/) accordingly. Happily, since the changes between versions were minor, this mainly involved

  s/2\.3\.5/2\.3\.6/

:-)

I've been going through Rails Tutorial for the past few weeks. You definitely have a gift for communicating clearly and effectively. I would strongly recommend Rails Tutorial to anyone looking to get started with Rails.
