Party like it's 1.1!

Ruby on Rails 1.1 was released today. If you already have Rails installed, simply run:


gem install rails --include-dependencies
rake rails:update

It is also recommended that ruby is upgraded to 1.8.4. On my windows box this caused all kinds of issues with how tab characters were interpreted. I posted this tip to the Rails mailing list:

Hello All ~

As suggested I upgraded Ruby to 1.8.4 along with Rails. My Linux boxes have been running 1.8.4 and haven't complained about my source. On the Windows version however, if you start to see errors like:

Invalid char `\002' in expression

parse error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kEND

Go through your code and replace your tabs with spaces. I use EditPlus and you can configure the tabs to use spaces. This solved my problem.

Also, if you're running Lighttpd, be sure to upgrade.
