Its mainly little annoyances, like the mysql gem was giving me grief,
it was pulling strings out of the DB in ASCII even though they were
UTF-8 I linked to a fixed gem in the SO post and even compiled it and
published it on gemcutter. Except for that I had issues with html5 gem
but migrated over to sanitize which is better and based off nokogiri.
also the levenshtein gem no longer compiles the c implementation.

The other big annoyance is all the encoding hacks, I had to put this
on top of my environment.rb file to get stuff to work

Encoding.default_internal, Encoding.default_external = ['utf-8'] * 2
if defined? Encoding

Encoding is the number 1 issue, it bites you when you are doing regex
matches sometimes as well, on top of that changes to the case ... when
statement bite you but are trivial to fix also for some reason
Symbol.humanize no longer works in 1.9 also trivial to fix.
