rails 1.1 goodness

Many thanks to the Ruby on Rails team for putting together 1.1, with the exception of my engine related upgrade issues everything has gone smoothly. If You happen to see something like:

inflector.rb:125:in `underscore': stack level too deep

then your issue is with engines or a plugin. I was only testing out some engines, so removing engine support fixed my problem. So far eager loading and respond_to are my favorite improvements. We'll see how I feel about RJS soon. I generally have no problem with client-side scripting and RJS seems to be an attempt at making client-side look like server-side from a developer's perspective, which seems like a good bit of smoke and mirrors to me. Then again, you could probably make the same argument for activerecord.

As a side note, I've switched to using mongrel as my development webserver. Its quite speedy compared to webrick.
