working with: ruby -v ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-linux] rails -v Rails 3.1.1

I think the SecureRandom thing is the only 1.8 incompatibility right now, so I will look into a possible workaround.

Ruby 1.9 has been around (and stable) for a long time now, though. Rails will eventually drop support for 1.8, so I would advise everyone to use 1.9.

I deciced to not pursue this after all. This is now reflected in the README.

I still maintain a few applications that need to run on 1.8 and it is becoming an ever more increasing pain. Upgrading to ruby 1.9 is really worth whatever hassle it might cause.
