FYI, Rails 3 will run on 1.8.7 or 1.9.x.

Ruby 1.8.5 is not widely used at this point. I don't think it's unreasonable to require 1.8.6 or higher.

Cheers,
Luke

The build-in sanitize is not very efficient and is only able to filter out unwanted tags. Sanitze goes a lot further. Most important feature is that it outputs valid html. For example, it you put a </div> in your note, it could mess up the page completely. Or a <STRONG> that is not ended in the note with </STRONG> will mess up things too.

The dependency on ruby 1.8.6 is unfortunate though. I did not spot it.

But when we migrate to rails3 (tracks 2.1?), we need ruby 1.9 I believe?

Hmm. This sanitize thing seems like it's causing a lot of extra work for people. Reinier, why do we need the gem instead of Rails's built- in sanitize?

After I added the libxslt1-dev, libxslt-ruby and libxslt-ruby-1.8. I am not sure that I needed them all, but figured there was little risk to adding them.

Since RedHat ship 1.8.5 with RHEL 5, a quick bit of googling was required. This page describes nicely how to quickly and easily add in an additional yum repo with ruby 1.8.6:

I thought that might be of use to someone other than me!
