Upgrading From Rails < 2.0.1 - Security Notice

So when you're upgrading your ghetto rails app that hasn't been touched in a couple of years to the new hottness, make sure you check your filters.

Previously, in Rails &lt; 2.0.1 if you returned false in a before filter, it would stop the processing of the action. In Rails &gt;= 2.0.1, before_filters _must_ now redirect or render in order to halt the calling of the controller action.

This can be a large security issue if you are returning false in an authorize component. Make sure to update them to redirect or render a 403.

Moving to Corvallis

Looks like we are moving to Corvallis. Erin found this nice '70s house that needs some updating. It is in a nice neighborhood and we should be able to fit in well. Now, to sell our current house!
