Almost anything that worked in the book and with .13 will continue to work for 1.x. The reason it''s ''almost anything'' is that people have a habit of relying on rails'' internal instance variables, and there''s nothing we can do to stop that. When you find yourself playing with rails variables directly (@flash, @params @controller etc.) check to see if there''s an accessor for it. (flash(), params(), controller() etc.) -- Cheers Koz
