Hi guys!

I’ve been playing a bit around with rails, and there are a few things I  
like, and a few I don’t. Don’t really care about that. I gotta use the  
right tool for each job, isn’t it?

Now… it seems like there’s quite a bit of hype around the upcoming  
rails 2.0. Would anyone tell me to use edge rails to develop, or should  
I stick with 1.2.3 until 2.0 is out? What’s the intended path? With  
Django, I’ve been using the trunk for quite some time, and it’s stable,  
and way ahead of the “official” releases. Is this the case with rails?

In that sense, where do I get more to know about edge rails? I’ve been  
reading at [dev.rubyonrails.org](http://dev.rubyonrails.org) and all there is goes about contributing  
to rails. It’s still a bit early for the to do that 🙂 I just wanna peek  
at the new stuff.

Seems to be suggested for this quite a bit…

I’d recommend using the 2.0 preview release for new developments  
starting now. You can read more about it here:  
[Ruby on Rails — Rails 2.0: Preview Release](http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/9/30/rails-2-0-0-preview-release).

Rails 2.0 is pretty close.
