Hi all,

Dreamhost updated to ruby 1.8.7 but this breaks my site (rails 2.0.2)

Will upgrading my site to rails 2.2 solve the problem as I have red on  
the net? On ‘[Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.](http://www.rubyonrails.org/down)’ I see that Ruby 1.8.7  
still has some bugs to straighten out.

Thanks  
Stijn

Rails 2.1 added support for ruby 1.8.7. I think those comments are  
more a general statement about ruby 1.8.7
