Which version of Ruby for Rails 2.0.2?

fredistic · February 1, 2008, 1:38pm

I'm using ruby 1.8.6 p111. But some people seem to think that version 1.8.5 is better. Should I give it a whirl?

I think that the better choice is always the latest version of each language, framework an so on, because software is error-prone and new releases can solve many bugs

Cheers,

Unless there's been a fix, Rails > 1.2.3 threw exceptions on Ruby 1.8.5

In theory, using 1.8.6 is best. More importantly: in practice (I build and maintain rails/ruby apps full-time) I have had no issues with rails 2.0.* and ruby 1.8.6p-*
