Rubber 2.3.0 Released

[Kevin Menard]

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Rubber 2.3.0.  This one fixes several annoying bugs we heard about from many users.  Some were our own doing, some were a result of dependencies we rely on, but they should be squared away now.

Just as a reminder, in our change log we note which templates are affected so you can gloss over the stuff you don't need to care about.  [core] is special and refers to the inner workings of rubber itself -- there's nothing to vulcanize, just upgrade the gem.  The reason I mention this is past releases have tended to have isolated fixes.  But this release affects most of the templates we have so you'll want to pay special attention and be sure to vulcanize what you need.

Many thanks to all those that file bugs, helped diagnose issues, provided patches, and helped others out on the mailing list.  Here's the big change log:
