Differences between Ruby on Rails versions? Which should I use?
- by Stephen Kellett
I first used Rails when it was not so well known about, in 2005. I did some experimental work with it but it has languished due to lack of time.
I'm now thinking of persuing the original idea again (with a new implementation) and when researching the latest Ruby and Ruby-on_Rails versions I see Ruby 1.9.2 and a Rails 3.0 beta.
I haven't managed to find a concise description of the differences between any of the Rails major versions. I have looked on the official Rails site and a few others as well. No joy. Maybe i'm looking in the wrong places or for the wrong thing?
My project isn't commercial in nature (it's a hobby thing) so the beta nature of Rails 3.0 doesn't put me off. I'd just like to know what the differences are. Can anyone explain please?
If it makes any odds to the answer, I'll be working on a Linux box and/or a Windows box.
