DHH just posted a message on the Rails mailing list announcing Rails 2.0: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/12/7/rails-2-0-it-s-done

Rails 2.0 is finally finished after about a year in the making. This is a fantastic release that’s absolutely stuffed with great new features, loads of fixes, and an incredible amount of polish. We’ve even taken a fair bit of cruft out to make the whole package more coherent and lean.

2. Javascript 7.3
3. Ajax 7.2
