I read somewhere that the correct naming of bridge tables is in alpha order. For example. I have two tables: houses, and colors. If I want to create a bridge table to associate colors with houses, I would name the table: colors_houses The associations work fine. But, if I have a table named: track_houses. Building a bridge table called: colors_track_houses, gives me model associaton errors.

Hey Folks, This is a quick release that fixes a major bug. I forgot to require the timeout library properly in mongrel.rb so people using Mongrel outside of Rails would see pauses. 0.3.3 fixes this all up.

I have a model class in rails that has a class variable that is a ferret index. For some reason, the methods in my class that refer to the class variable are getting lock conflicts.
