Hey guys,
I'm going to polish up the 1-2-stable branch and push out a new release in the next few days. If you have any annoying bugs which are present in 1.2.x and not yet fixed in stable, point them out in this thread and I'll take a look at merging the fixes.
Ok, here they come
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5896 partly because there is no answer for the question asked by bitsweat - database speaks data, accesors speak objects, and you cannot exactly ask the DB to compare on a calculated attribute
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9632
this one is a tiny, manfred please approve
having a failing test reminds us that utf8proc would be nice 
besides conformance corpus is not run as part of rake so this won't break CI
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7395 this one is important for camping where modules reign supreme
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7372 been' long time
Sorry I wasn't clearer, I'm after fixes that are in trunk, that I can cherry pick over. Pending trunk patches / fixes will land with 2.0 or 1.2.5.
