I have seen previous tiny version releases break the SQL Server adapter. Which to me points out two things, the scope and size of the rails stack and the nasty hacks I have had to do to pass the ActiveRecord test suite.
In general I agree that tiny version releases should not need release candidate gems. On the flip side, I appreciate that core is making an effort to warn upfront too and I think the RC process has value. In my case, it is easy to automate my tests on that git tag or a bundled download. - Ken -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
