upgrading plugins methodology

Hi, I've been cruising along trying to upgrade a rails 2.0.2 app to 2.2.2, but first made a pit stop at 2.1.2 based on some posts that I read.

Are there any tutorials, guides etc... on how to keep the plugins compatible with the latest version of Rails that I'm on? How would I know what version of say attachment_fu was most compatible with 2.1.2? If I grab the latest version of the plugin it might work for 2.2.2 but not 2.1.2 etc...
