I would recommend the following setup:
Ruby 1.9.2 RC2
install => rvm install 1.9.2
Rails 3 RC
install => gem install rails --pre
MySQL 2 Adapter
install => gem install mysql2
Note: The MySQL 2 gem should resolve the MySQL encoding issues that people
are seeing when using the regular MySQL gem and Ruby 1.9.2.
Next, if you're planning to upgrade your application to Rails 3 and Ruby
1.9.2, I would
recommend that you begin the process now so that you can provide feedback to
the
Rails team as well as the Ruby gem/plugin authors.
Good luck and happy coding,
-Conrad
