I ran into two 1.8.6 incompatibilities with Rails:

1. Time#to_date is a private method in date.rb
    Workaround in http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/6281

2. MD5.new(...).to_s was deprecated and is now removed
    This affected the bundled mysql.rb and is fixed in
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/6328

These fixes will be released with Rails 1.2.3 so those who wish to 
upgrade
to Ruby 1.8.6 should move to the 1-2-stable branch or upgrade Rails to
1.2.3when it's available.

Otherwise, my Rails apps run well with Ruby 1.8.6. Thanks for the stable
release!
