Thanks all, I think I have my weekend cut out for me! I just encountered a gem update that I thought was minor (friendly_id 1.0.12 to 1.0.13) but which enforced a Ruby 1.8.7 minimum. So I suppose I'm prepared to need to do gem updates to keep everything working. Marnen, how would you identify a "native" extension? Is it a short list?

Thanks,

Walter

Some gems have compiled native extensions that are called by Ruby, but I
assume those would be the same between 1.8.6 and 1.8.7.

No, native extensions should be recompiled when you upgrade from 1.8.6
to 1.8.7 because the API and ABI has changed slightly.
