# Security Issues!

This release contains fixes for possible XSS problems in your rails 
application.  It is unlikely that your application is vulnerable, but you 
should take precautions by updating your application.

For more information about the XSS issue that was fixed in this release, please 
[read this blog 
post](http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2011/6/8/potential-xss-vulnerability-in-ruby-on-rails-applications).

## WELCOME!

Hi everyone!  I've released Rails version 3.0.8!

I know I told you I would release Rails 3.0.8 on June 2nd.  I may put many 
hearts in my emails, but I'm quite serious about sticking to announced 
deadlines.  The reason this release was delayed is due to the above security 
issue.  I needed to coordinate three different versions to be released 
simultaniously, and that delayed this release.

Sorry about that!  Barring "perfect storm" issues like this, I will keep you up 
to date on release dates as I know them.  :-)

## CHANGES

The big changes in this release are:

* Fixing Rake 0.9.x integration
* Fixing rubygems deprecation warnings
* Refactoring YAML support to work well with Psych and Syck
* Joins on polymorphic `has_one` associations are fixed

For an exaustive log of changes, please [see the commit list on 
github](https://github.com/rails/rails/compare/v3.0.7...v3.0.8), or the 
CHANGELOG for each project.
