Does anyone know if i may run into an issue if i upgrade my current  
Ruby from 1.8.5 to 1.8.6 with Rails 1.1.6? I have a project that i am  
not ready to bring up to Rails 1.2.x…

I tried looking over the changelogs but i don’t see anything, i only  
ask b/c 1.2.3 came out b/c of Ruby 1.8.6.

Thanks,

.: Michael :.

Yes you will run into issues - all the way up to rails 1.2.2

1.2.3 was released today and works with Ruby 1.8.6

Yes, you may. To monkeypatch, put  
class Time  
public :to\_date  
end  
in environment.rb

Also, the bundled mysql.rb uses the deprecated Digest API. Use the  
mysql gem instead.

I recommend moving to 1.2.3 from 1.1.6 at your earliest convenience, too  
😉

Best,
