    This morning I wrote (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1375009)

      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. :-)
    Turns out that was wishful thinking:

      s/2\.3\.7/2\.3\.8/
    Get it while it's hot: http://www.railstutorial.org/book

    It happens.

    (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 other people.)

    It looks like the only diff is in activepack: http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/2-3-stable/actionpack/CHA...

    2.3.8 (May 24, 2010)

    * HTML safety: fix compatibility without the optional rails_xss plugin.

    2.3.7 (May 24, 2010)

    * 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.
