[Rails] Up to date gems

In the last few days David has been committing a lot of nice patches (fixes
and feature requests).

For all those running rails on gems who might want to get up to date
without going the Edge Rails route, David has made gems available for AP
0.9.0 and AR 1.0.0.

You can get them at http://www.loudthinking.com/share/gems/

Once they have been downloaded you can just:

(as root or equivalent)
# gem install actionpack-0.9.0.gem
# gem install activerecord-1.0.0.gem

For the record, (because ruby gems is so awesome) this will *not*
overwrite your previously installed AR and AP gems. By default ruby gems
will start using these newer versions but if you want to mix and match
you can go into config/environments/shared.rb and flex greater than and
less than and similar operators to fine tune what gems are used.

More details about this can be read about at the following urls (pages
from Jim Weirich's great Gems presentation at RubyConf2004):
http://onestepback.org/articles/rubygemsfacets/rubygemsversioning.html
http://onestepback.org/articles/rubygemsfacets/versionconstraints.html

Go ahead and check out the entire presentation if you are so inclined.
