What's New in Edge Rails: The Hodgepodgery

It's been quite a while since we've had a new Edge Rails post. I've really missed them and there have been a lot of changes, both big and small, on the Edge in the time since. In this post I'll cover a little bit of everything that's been happening over the past week or so in Rails. Along with this, you should expect to see more frequent and regular updates on all that is currently going on.

Myth #6: Rails only speaks English

It used to be somewhat inconvenient to deal with UTF-8 in Rails because Ruby's primary method of dealing with them was through regular expressions. If you just did a naïve string operation, you'd often be surprised by results and think that Ruby was somehow fundamentally unable to deal with UTF-8.
