Ruby on Rails upgraded to 2.0.2
DreamHost has just finished upgrading all servers to Ruby on Rails 2.0.2.
Rails 2.0 was released about a month ago and contains new features, loads of fixes and an incredible amount of polish.
The official Rails blog has an article describing a number of the more interesting new features in the release which appears to be quite extensive.
rails.dreamhosters.com have a list of all the updated gems and their new version numbers.

A little warning would have been nice. My site was down for 2 days while I figured out what to do to make it Rails 2.0 compliant.

Chris - I understand your frustation, but I guess it was briefly mentioned on the status blog.

Umm. And you COULD have edited your environment.rb file to force use of an older version of Rails while you updated the code. 30 seconds of work tops instead of 2 days of downtime.

Yeah, why didn’t they give us a warning!! I’ve been working all morning to figure out what happened. All my Rails sites have been down for 2 days now!! Thank you, DreamHost!!!
