Rails - Mar 2006 - link_to_remote issue after upgrading to rails 1.0

Hi

I''ve only recently noticed my notebook was using an old version of
rails
(0.13), and so upgraded it to 1.0 (this is on gentoo linux).

The upgrade has broken some previously working code, and I''ve not been 
able to find a work-around.

Previously the following call:
<%= link_to_remote("some string",
                                   :update => ''content'',
                                   :url        => { :action =>
''show_pics'',
                                                           :show_layout 
=> false,
                                                           :page => @page}
                  ) %>
would call action show_pics and params[:show_layout] would hold the 
value false.

However, now :show_layout is not passed thru at all. I''m certain
it''s
related to the upgrade as I noticed it broke when i moved a copy of my 
app to my server using rails 1.0. As soon as I upgraded the laptop from 
0.13 to 1.0 the laptop also started behaving the same.

The examples in the  api docs at 
http://rubyonrails.org/api/classes/ActionView/Helpers/JavaScriptHelper.html#M000433
suggest this call is still valid and the parameter should be passed.

Am I misunderstanding the docs? Or just plain doin something wrong?

Cheers

try:
:show_layout => ''false''

url?
