Unless for some reason you want to force it to '0.7. 1' if the gem version is not specified. Let's say you have a couple of production installations of Radiant 0.6.9.

I added RADIANT_GEM_VERSION in config/environment.rb when it stopped working! In fact, it doesn't have to be you, your hosting provider could have upgraded the gem without notifying you. I admit, it is easily solved by specifying the RADIANT_GEM_VERSION in config/environment.rb, but you have to know that in advance. Clearly, in this case it would help if your Radiant was locked to the right gem version. I believe there is no compelling reason for the other way around. If you want to try a new version of Radiant, you could always comment out the above line. And nothing breaks. You're right. Admittedly, I feel that it's best to freeze Radiant into any production application. That way, *I* decide when to change gems.

Saša Babić wrote: The instructions for Radiant upgrade point to updating RADIANT_GEM_VERSION (or commenting it out), but it is not set in the config/environment.rb (you have to do it manualy). Yeah, I know, sometimes it helps if you put some effort into reading the instructions. But, in case you do NOT upgrade your existing radiant app, upgrading radiant gem can break it up. When you realize there is something wrong and go back to read the instructions, it might be a bit late. Thus, I propose that we put in config/environtment.rb something like: RADIANT_GEM_VERSION = '0.7.1' unless defined?
