Rails 2.3.2.1 is out. There's some confusion about this floating around already, so here's the scoop as I understand it:

  • The original Rails 2.3.2 gems were built including this commit from the Rails master tree, which is critical for proper functionality.

  • The 2.3.2 tag in GitHub unfortunately points to this commit, which is before the critical fix.

  • The net result is that rake rails:freeze:edge RELEASE=2.3.2 would freeze a bad version of Rails into your application.


To fix this, the Rails team has re-tagged the master tree at a safer spot, after the critical fix. This new tag is for release 2.3.2.1. So if you're freezing Rails 2.3 into your applications (as opposed to running it from gems) be sure to use rake rails:freeze:edge RELEASE=2.3.2.1. That .1 makes all the difference.
