Just a quickie...
I'm seeing Rails 3.2 Beta already on Github, though 3.1 is still at RC4. Is the plan still to release 3.1 or are we skipping straight to 3.2?
Forgive me if it's a dumb question: it's asked honestly.

The Rails core team will always be working on more than one version of Rails at any given time at different levels of the software pipeline. For example,
Rails 2.3.x : maintenance only Rails 3.0.x : mostly maintenance only Rails 3.1.x : release candidate Rails 3.2.x : minor release which contains new features and enhancements
In short, they will be always working a future release and it will be reflected in their respective Github repository. If you're looking to build a production Rails application today, I would recommend Rails 3.0.9 or 3.1rc.
Good luck,

Thanks Conrad, that helps.
I'll use 3.1rc for the production app I'm about to start
Cheers!

Let me fix this a bit ...
Rails 2.3.x : NOT maintained anymore. security or severe bugs only. branch 2-3-stable. Rails 3.0.x : Maintenance only. New features are not allowed. branch 3-0-stable. Rails 3.1.x : Release candidate, feature complete. New features are not allowed. branch 3-1-stable. Rails 3.2.x : Future Rails version. New features goes here. branch master.
Cheers.
