What version of Ruby does or will Rails 3 require?

Matt, Rails 3 requires Ruby 1.8.7 at the absolute minimum but works best with Ruby 1.9.2.

Good luck,

I don’t think Ruby 1.9 is ready for production. Neither do @wycats http://twitter.com/wycats/status/13314233693

And, I guess, making a project on Rails 3 is risky too. Too many bugs for now

That tweet refers to 1.9.1, and implies that 1.9.2 is ready for production.

I'd like to know what Yehuda meant, though. Lots of people have been using 1.9.1 for quite a while.

Yeah. It *is* prerelease software.

Best,

Marnen, I have also been using 1.9.1 for over a year and the Rails core

team recommends Ruby 1.9.2. Thus, I have recently started using Ruby

1.9.2 with Rails 2.3.5 on a new project for the last 2 months. I must say

that things look very very good. Also, this will make it much easier to

migrate to Rails 3.0 when it’s ready and gem dependencies are met for the

application.

Good to know! I'm still using 1.8, but the time to switch seems to be very close indeed.

Vladimir, here’s the current schedule for Ruby 1.9.2 and this looks very promising:
