Rails 2.3 RC1 Released

Rails 2.3 RC1 has been released. You can install the release candidate with:
gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org

I have not tested it yet, but reading the release note, they made plenty of improvements and deprecated craps nobody uses. However, it appears that it creates more problems for those switching to 1.9 like myself.

It’s a good thing that they now using Rack everywhere, but the problem is, Rack is not yet compatible with 1.9. This is precisely the reason why I can’t write Sinatra with 1.9. If you don’t know what Rack is, take a look at the video of Dan Webb presenting Rack at Ruby Manor.

    Well, I tried installing 2.3 RC1 and gave up after I encountered

    http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/1851-tmailencoder-nameerror

    Can’t port my existing application without TMail working. I still need to figure out how to migrate my custom session store to use Rack.

    That’s shame. By the way, I have no idea what TMail is or what it does, so it’s not possible for me to comment…

    What else is breaking?
