   I haven’t moved up to Rails 2 yet, because of the many incompatibilities I keep reading about. In fact, I kinda suspect that Rails 2 may well kill Rails because folks like me won’t move up to v2 and will instead move on to other technologies for our next projects.

   Meanwhile, though, for those who’ve been suckered into upgrading existing projects that use render_text to Rails 2, it should be possible to re-created it with the following at the end of config/environment.rb (untested, as I don’t run Rails 2):

   class ActionController::Base # :nodoc
   def render_text(text = nil, status = 200, append_response = false) #:nodoc:
   render :text => text, :status => status, :append_response => append_response
   end
   end

   So much for backward compatibility! Can we stop changing things? this kind of migration has caused me more than one headache with rails and ruby!!!! If ruby and rails are so “great”, why this stupidity?

    This was great. I was looking for problems in my installation of ruby instead of backwards compatibility.
