Rails 1.1 was a big upgrade with a lot of new features and we’ve been  
working hard since its release to polish off the kinks revealed after  
it was deployed to the masses. Rails 1.1.1 contains fixes for things  
like Prototype memory leaks in IE 6, Oracle adapter runnings, and a  
number of compatibility tweaks to make most older applications work.

This release still doesn’t work with Typo, though. And it won’t.  
Instead you must freeze Rails 1.0 to vendor/rails if you run Typo  
2.6.0 while we await the new release from the Typo team that will be  
fully 1.1 compatible.

This is the release we recommend that hosting companies upgrade to. If  
you still haven’t frozen your application and it for some reason  
doesn’t work with Rails 1.1.1, don’t run crying to them. We screwed up  
in the release notes of the last release by not telling people that  
Typo would break, but now that this information is spread far and  
wide, it’ll rest on your shoulders to make sure you’re frozen and stay  
cool.

## If you still haven’t upgraded to Rails 1.1, checkout the original announcement for a run-through of all the features.

Hi, I have installed Rails 1.1 onto my system. BTW, I’m new to RoR.  
So, what version should I install and build new application with?  
What version are you recommending to hosting companies? 1.1 or 1.1.1?

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad
