assign_attributes went away in the move from 2.3 -> 3.0, then re-appeared for 3.1.0. In 3.0.5, the closest equivalent is plain `attributes=`.
Regarding security updates, the best versions to use security-wise are always (in descending order of preference): * GREAT: the current release version (4.1.5 now, with 4.2 in beta) * OKAY: the most-recent release of the previous version (4.0.9) * KINDA NOT ENTIRELY BAD: the most-recent release of the any versions before *that* (3.2.19, 3.1.12, 3.0.20) Older versions *only* get security updates, so the final releases in a particular line are almost always solving important security issues. —Matt Jones On Sep 3, 2014, at 10:12 AM, skt <stibre...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Ryan. > > I have a User model (using Devise/Omniauth) and I call the assign_attributes > on an instance of User. > > Part of what I am wondering is why isn't there a definition of > assign_attributes in the ActiveRecord::Base class in 3.0.5 that I am using. > > Thanks for any insights/pointers. > > -S > > On Tuesday, September 2, 2014 9:37:20 PM UTC-7, Ryan Bigg wrote: > Hi skt, > > First of all: I would highly encourage you to upgrade immediately to at least > 3.0.20. > > Second: What method are you calling exactly to get that error? > > > On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 2:35 PM, skt <stib...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am on an old version of Rails (3.0.5) and can't upgrade right now.
