On: Rails 3.0: Third beta release

[_pius]

I've pretty much switched everything to Ruby 1.9.1 and the first Rails 3.0 beta. Works like a charm. That's why I was so disappointed to see the 3.0pre2 rely on Ruby head rather than current Ruby stable (1.9.1).

As a matter of general principle I agree with this, but I've had so many problems with 1.9.1, I moved to 1.9.2-pre, and it's been working a lot better.

What kind of problems did you have with 1.9.1? What was your deployment stack?

Is beta 3 working on Ruby 1.9?

I would tell you to read the manual, but they didn't post release notes on the rails blog this time!

Anyhow, Ruby 1.9.2 is recommended.

I got a segfault on Ruby 1.9.1-p376. Check the release notes/blog post of Beta 2 - I think those same restrictions apply.
