Question

I have just started using 3.0.7. I am about 2 weeks of development in.

I was wondering if I should keep building for 3.0.7 or switch to 3.1 before I have too much code to port over? I like most of the new features (my only fear is not having good error messages when I use coffeescript), so I’d like to code towards the latest and greatest if it’s relatively safe.

The javascript standards look interesting, and the attr_accessible fix sounds like it’s very much appreciated.

Is Rails 3.1 compatible with all the gems out there though?

Also, if I go the 3.1 route, is hard or easy to migrate my project towards it? How might one go about that?

I guess this is a lot of mini yet related questions. I’d really appreciate some answers. Thank you.

I think if you want to ride on Rails 3.1 you should do it :). As for me I have some projects on Rails 2.3.5, 3.0.5 and would like to port them on Rails 3.1 but there is to much code there :). So don’t be afraid and go to the fresh stuff (unless your code overflow 🙂 ).
Rails 3.1 are pretty stable for now (I didn’t have much problems with installing and using it)
