It’s been a few months since RedCloth got moved off to SVN, and it looks  
like there’s been some activity, but no new releases. Since 3.0.4 is  
seriously broken, any chance of a gem release soon? How stable is HEAD?  
Every few days, someone asks “Why don’t line breaks work?” and discovers  
they have to revert to 3.0.3. If 3.x isn’t ready yet, maybe 3.0.4  
should  
just be pulled?

Hi Jay,  
I was able to solve the trouble that 3.0.4 was giving me by using the  
hints on  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RedCloth/versions/26](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RedCloth/versions/26)

what it boiled down to was doing this:  
module ApplicationHelper  
def textilize(text)  
RedCloth.new(text).to\_html  
end  
end
