It makes things simpler. By bundling rails, we build and test against that version and it prevents people from changing things and reporting errors for versions that were not taken into account with the code. There have been several times where upgrading rails made serious problems for the existing code so rather than debug everyone's attempts to upgrade in forums like this, we just freeze our dependencies. But you can freeze radiant and remove or upgrade the bundled rails, or you can build your own radiant gem to run locally. This will all change with Rails 3 however. -- Jim Gay Saturn Flyer LLC http://www.saturnflyer.com 571-403-0338
