Hi All,

Thanks to everyone for the great updates on how to upgrade to Rails 3.

What are the technical and business benefits of upgrading to the latest
versions of Ruby an Ruby on Rails.

The application we have written is still on Ruby version 1.8.7 and Ruby on
Rails version 2.3.5

Kind Regards and Thanks in advance
