Edge rails

Hi guys!

I've been playing a bit around with rails, and there are a few things I like, and a few I don't. Don't really care about that. I gotta use the right tool for each job, isn't it?

Now... it seems like there's quite a bit of hype around the upcoming rails 2.0. Would anyone tell me to use edge rails to develop, or should I stick with 1.2.3 until 2.0 is out? What's the intended path? With Django, I've been using the trunk for quite some time, and it's stable, and way ahead of the "official" releases. Is this the case with rails?

In that sense, where do I get more to know about edge rails? I've been reading at dev.rubyonrails.org and all there is goes about contributing to rails. It's still a bit early for the to do that :slight_smile: I just wanna peek at the new stuff.

I'd recommend using the 2.0 preview release for new developments starting now. You can read more about it here: Ruby on Rails — Rails 2.0: Preview Release.

Rails 2.0 is pretty close.

Seems to be suggested for this quite a bit...
