Hi Everyone,

I have a small pre-release for Mongrel that will eventually be the  
0.3.13.3 release, but it needs some quick testing before I make it  
official. There’s a bug for only some folks and I need to find out  
what’s causing it.

The bug is that the object\_id method gets the signature:

def object\_id(param)  
end

Which is incredibly evil. Normally this does nothing to Mongrel, but  
when people turn on the debug logging (-B option) it causes problems.

HOW TO TEST

All you need to do is install Mongrel _in a safe place_ (like not  
production) using:

gem install mongrel --source=[http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/)

And run your rails application with the -B option:

mongrel\_rails start -B

Run any Selenium/Watir tests or other ways to touch key parts of the  
app, and then send me any “TELL ZED” messages printed out.

OTHER CHANGES

Otherwise, the only change was Mongrel will now print out the “access  
log” when you run it in the console. Let me know if people like or hate  
this.

Nothing in my first round of tests. Would the message be in the  
objects.log? I did a grep on all my log files and found nothing. I  
will leave it  
running and see if anything shows up.
