This release of Instant Rails contains the following major  
changes:

```
* Upgrades Rails to version 1.1.6
  (other components upgraded to current release, also)

* SCGI has been replaced by Mongrel (using Apache's
  mod_proxy for forward requests).

* For the development server, WEBrick has also been
  replaced by Mongrel.

* Automatic RadRails configuration: if your choose
  your Instant Rails "rails_apps" subdirectory as
  your workspace, then all of the RadRails paths
  (to ruby, rake, ri, rdoc, etc.) will be automatically
  set.

```

## Known Problems

There are two known problems: If you select the menu items  
“Help \> Getting Started” or “Help \> Release Notes”, Instant  
Rails will crash. For the time being, you can read these two  
topics from the web site:
