I’m newish to rails, and I started with rails 3 and ruby 1.8.7
I’m not sure exactly why I went with 1.8.7, but I think it was because many gems are not supported with 1.9.
Was my analysis wrong and I can move to 1.9?
What are things to consider moving to 1.9? Is rails 3 ready for it?
I’ve moved to 1.9.2 about two months ago and so far everything seems OK. 1.9 is largely backwards-compatible so most things are not a problem.
That said there are two possible sources of significant annoyance when going to 1.9:
require 'fastercsv'will result in an error. This will require changes to your code if you are doing any CSV parsing.# encoding: utf-8on top of any such files, but again a possible source of pain.All gems I’ve been using work fine (except those doing CSV).
