* ...

[list of commits](https://github.com/rails/rails/commits/master) in the main
Rails repository on GitHub.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrading to Rails 4.1
----------------------
If you're upgrading an existing application, it's a great idea to have good test
coverage before going in. You should also first upgrade to Rails 4.0 in case you
haven't and make sure your application still runs as expected before attempting
an update to Rails 4.1. A list of things to watch out for when upgrading is
available in the
[Upgrading to Rails](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#upgrading-from-rails-4-0-to-rails-4-1)
guide.
Creating a Rails 4.1 application
--------------------------------
```
You should have the 'rails' RubyGem installed
$ rails new myapp
$ cd myapp
```
### Vendoring Gems
Rails uses a `Gemfile` in the application root to determine the gems you require
for your application to start. This `Gemfile` is processed by the
[Bundler](https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler) gem, which then installs all your
dependencies. It can even install all the dependencies locally to your
application so that it doesn't depend on the system gems.
More information: [Bundler homepage](http://gembundler.com)
### Living on the Edge
`Bundler` and `Gemfile` makes freezing your Rails application easy as pie with
the new dedicated `bundle` command. If you want to bundle straight from the Git
repository, you can pass the `--edge` flag:
```
$ rails new myapp --edge
```
If you have a local checkout of the Rails repository and want to generate an
application using that, you can pass the `--dev` flag:
```
$ ruby /path/to/rails/railties/bin/rails new myapp --dev
```

TIP: Ruby 1.8.7 p248 and p249 have marshaling bugs that crash Rails. Ruby Enterprise Edition has these fixed since the release of 1.8.7-2010.02. On the 1.9 front, Ruby 1.9.1 is not usable because it outright segfaults, so if you want to use 1.9.x, jump straight to 1.9.3 for smooth sailing.
