    According to Chu Yeow, Mongrel doesn't run on 1.9.0 yet. Neither does Rails. The release of 1.9.0 coincided with the API freeze for 1.9.x, so hopefully projects that were holding off on porting to 1.9 will do so now. The situation is complicated by 1.9's transitional nature; you should stick with 1.8 if you absolutely need stability.
