How can I tell in what version of code Rails is written in?

rubyonrails-talk

Hi all

I've just been given a copy of a Rails application and looking at the files it seems to be older than version 2.3 (uses .rhtml eg) but is there any way to find out the Rails version an application is written for just from looking at the files?

Thanks in advance

Take a look at the Gemfile (if there is one) or look for RAILS_GEM_VERSION (i think) in environment.rb. Also check whether rails has been frozen into the app at vendor/rails
