Double Shot #645

It's time to buckle down and deliver some code.
- Plugin Authors: Toward a Better Future - I personally do not count breaking every plugin in the Rails ecosystem as "better." But if you've got a plugin that you want or need to make Rails 3 compatible, this is essential information.
- Using Bundler in Real Life - Scenario-based workflows for the new Bundler gem.
- jQuery with Rails 3 - How to get hooked up to the new unobtrusive javascript bits.
- New Feature: Amazon S3 now supports Object Versioning - It'll be interesting to see how long it takes someone to build a blob-based SCM on top of this.
- jBreadCrumb - Somewhat busy display aimed at handling deeply nested breadcrumb navigation.
- FireQuery - Firebug extension for jQuery development.

While getting Rails 3 running wasn't that hard (although it was a lot more messy than 1.2 to 2 was) I have to say that if you rely on third party dependencies, alot of them weren't ready for the beta. In some cases, this results in alot of hand wringing, like, "Gosh is that gem/plugin even maintained anymore ? Should I even be using it ?"
I've never been more aware of the tradeoffs of using someone else's code (and being captive to it) than right now.
Alex: Rails 3 BETA was JUST released. Is it really that far-fetched to think that most gems wouldn't be compatible JUST after the first beta being released? I wouldn't even begin to start migrating an application to Rails 3 until at least a few MAINTENANCE releases of Rails 3 have been pushed...that's just me though. What's the rush?
