There are new features added quite often, but minor versions are generally backwards-compatible. The one exception was the 1.8->1.9 switch years ago. I have done quite a bit of web developing with it and never had an API break problem with Ruby itself, save the aforementioned 1.8/1.9 switch. Granted, gems are quite different. RubyOnRails especially releases new (breaking) versions way too fast for me; that's why I prefer to use different libraries. Marvin
