jQuery here I come
Faster erb templates
You can have them too! Even without fancy schmancy haml (which is nice, I admit). Just wait for Rails 2.2 or install edge right now. Massive speed improvements in Rails core. 933697a – 0bdb7d3 – 4d4c8e2 (from living on the edge)
Vulnerabilities in Ruby
Oops! There are some nasty vulnerabilities in Ruby. I guess Zed was right after all. It seems there’s more wrong than even he has led on though. Unfortunately when doing the upgrade by Rails segfaults, so I am between a rock and a hard place. (From RoR)

Finally! After many weeks I managed to track down a very strange bug. When parsing RSS feeds using Ruby’s built-in RSS::Parser, sometimes I would get bombs in Rails when trying to insert item.pubDate into the database.
