Rails version changes regarding tutorials?
I've been going through some good (seeming) resources for Rails tutorials, and will dutifully follow the steps until halfway through I realize a helper has been dropped or something else has changed. Aside from the 1.0->2.0 change (which I imagine was significant, given typical versioning), are there other updates that have fundamentally...

Do Subversion client/server versions need to be the same or close to each other?
This seems like a basic question, but I haven't found any clear answers. Essentially, we have a subversion 1.4 server with 1.5 clients. What I'd like to know is if we want to use some of the 1.5 features like branch/merge tracking, does the server need to be at least 1.5 also? I have read that 1.5 clients will sometimes auto-upgrade t...

What are the benefits of "Staircase" branching?
Hi, I've encountered a project where we use staircase branching. To clarify, this is the approach where code is branched for development and when the development completes, rather than cutting back to a trunk/main line, the dev branch is designated as the live code set and a new branch is taken from it. This continues ad infinitum. I p...

How do you specify a package version in Perl?
I'm a bit confused by conflicting advice between pre-5.10.0 documents and the more recent version module. Perl Best Practices makes it pretty clear that version strings ('v1.0.3') are bad and one is supposed to specify a version as follows: use version; our $VERSION = qv('1.0.3'); but the version module says that we're back to using ...

Usability of <ins> and <del> elements
How usable is a document which uses <ins> and <del>, compared to seeing the deltas in a two-pane split-screen diff viewer? Although a command-line diff tool will show its output as one diff after another (in a single vertical column / console window), all the GUI diff tools that I know of tend to show diffs in a two-pane, split-screen U...

These SDKs are a collection of header files and static libraries only. After installing the security updates our SDKs now depend on the newer versions of the MSVC CRT DLLs. These SDKs are used downstream ...
Is it safe to rewrite an EXE or DLL manifest to force a particular version of the MSVC CRT DLLs?
Is it supported by Microsoft to simply rewrite the manifest of an EXE or DLL to force the use of a specific version of the MSVC CRT?
