Mongrel users - Jun 2007 - You All Get To Live!

Ok, my little experiment proved my point.  Ruby 1.8.6 is not viable for
production. Requiring it and dropping the cgi fix back patch isn''t an
option.  It''s not even clear whether the latest 1.8.6 has any remaining
fixes.

So, crisis averted.  Mongrel WILL NOT require 1.8.6 and now I''m going
to dig out where these security fixes are coming from and how to host this kind
of stuff.

Thanks for the feedback folks.

Ok, so why is 1.8.6 not viable for production?  We''re running it on a
couple
significant production apps with mongrel clusters and haven''t had any
trouble.  Should we expect some?

Thanks,

Doug

well the thread from earlier today makes it rather clear that many of
us would not appreciate the change at this point.
