So Rails 2.0 is finished although, thanks to a last minute fix, it’s version 2.0.1 and not 2.0.0 as you might expect.

Ryan Daigle has posted a big list of changes but even that doesn’t catch all of the features in this new version, there are just too many, so we can expect a slew of new books and screencasts soon. Ryan Bates (why are so many Ryans involved in Rails?) is ahead of the game with his excellent Rails 2.0 Railscasts.

I’ve just updated this site without any difficulties and the new project we’ve just started will be built with Rails 2.0 giving us a great opportunity to try out all the new features.

Now we can look forward to the smokin’ fast Ruby 1.9 that should be out soon and then eagerly await the release of Rails 3.0!
