Hello everyone,

Ruby on Rails updates often confusing me, personally. (I hope I am not  
the only one). So what I am saying is “Is there a web site or a  
reference indicating what is in the new updates?”

The commands have changed a time or two on me and sometimes it gets  
confusing.

Thank you,

[api.rubyonrails.org](http://api.rubyonrails.org) will show the latest documentation and the  
syntax.  
[rubyonrails.org](http://rubyonrails.org) will have the release notes and change log for the  
current version.

chu yeow’s excellent ‘living on the edge of rails’ is now on the rails  
weblog and is great for keeping tabs on what’s going on in edge.

For a while I was doing active development projects build on Rails  
1.2.2 and 1.1.6 and there were several times that I was burned by  
trying to do something the 1.2 way on the 1.1.6 project before I  
started keeping project-based, version-specific rdocs around.
