I saw in the changelog that Radiant 0.6.3 is using the 1.5.0 release  
of Prototype, but updating the radiant gem does not update the  
javascripts directory.  
Should there be a rake:public:update task or something like that?

Running the radiant command on the directory will overwrite any  
changed files (prompting before overwrite). Just don’t let it overwrite  
things that you’ve changed by hand.

Actually, try this:

rake radiant:update

To update all the significant files in his public and scripts directory.
