When will Rails 3 be formally released (as the stable, recommended version)?

Nice. Anyone have experience with Paperclip on Rails 3? Almost all my apps rely heavily on Paperclip for image storage.

Nope, but all of these people do: http://railsplugins.org/plugins/161-paperclip

Railsplugins.org has been an invaluable resource for me to figure out what's happening with plugin and gem compatibility.

Now if they just added a JSON layer so I could automate the process of checking my projects' gems...

I've heard they're targeting RailsConf - but it's really anyone's guess. The frequency of commits doesn't seem to be decreasing.

Paperclip w/ Rails 3 beta is kind of a moving target right now. As of yesterday, the rails3 branch of the main repo wasn't working in my only Rails 3 app, but this fork works for me: http://github.com/enable/paperclip/tree/rails3

Dive in, the water's fine! You may experience a few bumps along the way, but there are a lot of people already in the water ready to help you out. There are already production apps running Rails 3--just don't use it for anything mission critical.

I have, and it works.

Wow, RailsDispatch is one of the highest quality rails3 resources on the net. Props to engineyard for setting it up! This article was especially useful to me.

I think that was what the parent's question was: when will it be ready for "anything mission critical"?
