WELCOME!

Hi everyone! I’ve released Rails version 3.0.8!

I know I told you I would release Rails 3.0.8 on June 2nd. I may put
many hearts in my emails, but I’m quite serious about sticking to
announced deadlines. The reason this release was delayed is due to the
above security issue. I needed to coordinate three different versions
to be released simultaniously, and that delayed this release.

Sorry about that! Barring “perfect storm” issues like this, I will keep
you up to date on release dates as I know them. :slight_smile:

CHANGES

The big changes in this release are:

  • Fixing Rake 0.9.x integration
  • Fixing rubygems deprecation warnings
  • Refactoring YAML support to work well with Psych and Syck
  • Joins on polymorphic has_one associations are fixed

For an exaustive log of changes, please see the commit list on
github, or the
CHANGELOG for each project.
