Ruby on Rails 2.3.8 Released

This morning I wrote (<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1375009" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1375009</a>)<p><pre><code> And the Rails Tutorial book (http://www.railstutorial.org/) has again been updated: s/2\.3\.6/2\.3\.7/ I hope this doesn't start happening every day. :-) </code></pre> Turns out that was wishful thinking:<p><pre><code> s/2\.3\.7/2\.3\.8/ </code></pre> Get it while it's hot: <a href="http://www.railstutorial.org/book" rel="nofollow">http://www.railstutorial.org/book</a>

It happens.<p>(Without meaning to sound callous to folks who have been reduced to firefighting this week: with sane practices on applying updated libraries to production, it happens to <i>other people</i>.)

It looks like the only diff is in activepack: <a href="http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/2-3-stable/actionpack/CHANGELOG" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/2-3-stable/actionpack/CHA...</a><p><i>2.3.8 (May 24, 2010)</i><p>* HTML safety: fix compatibility <i>without</i> the optional rails_xss plugin.<p><i>2.3.7 (May 24, 2010)</i><p>* HTML safety: fix compatibility with the optional rails_xss plugin. [Nathan Weizenbaum, Santiago Pastorino]

Broad test coverage is not always the safety net that its proponents like to claim it is.

jeez, when I read "2.3.8", I thought surely that was an error. 2.3.6 was just released.

they did it for the lolz
