Hello again

Just checked out the latest from svn, installed ferret, setup a test db,  
and ran “rake”. It fails, and tracing into the error it looks like the  
acts\_as\_ferret plugin is out of date with the latest ferret gem?

I just did “gem install ferret” and it grabbed version 0.10.1 - is that  
too new for the plugin?

# The full stack trace is below from rake - you can see that “BooleanClause” doesn’t exist where the plugin expects if you load up ferret in irb.

Yes, the included plugin is for use with 0.9.4. The new plugin for  
0.10.1 is not yet working correctly.
