Toot toot! Rails 2.1 is almost out and the gravy train has set sail, full speed ahead! Are you excited? I know the girl to the left here is. She’s totally psyched about the upcoming release. Screw barbie dolls, you’ve got some upgrading to do!

You’ll be happy to know that all the plugins here are Rails 2.1 ready. That’s been my testbed for a while now.

I’m sorry, son. You must be 2.1 or over to enter.

The downside of being Rails 2.1 ready is, well… Rails 2.1 certified means NOT < Rails 2.1 certified. I don’t like code strictly meant for backwards compatibility. This project is maintained against the latest version of Rails and is meant to be implemented with the latest and greatest in mind.

Hopefully, for most people, that decision won’t have much of an effect on your project. If you’re lagging a bit behind and want to update a plugin, you should feel free to just make the appropriate patches needed. Sure, it’s a little extra work, but I think you’ll be happier with code that’s not just a bowl of spaghetti.

You wanted a bowl of ice cream anyway. Screw spaghetti.

Let me know if you run into any issues with the 2.1 release. I’ll be happy to take a look!
