Capistrano 2.1 includes some major improvements over the 1.x branch, so everyone should start using it right away. Yet it doesn't work with Mongrel out of the box and it's most likely not backwards compatible with your old deploy recipes. Since there is no official documentation on how to get going with Rails and Mongrel, I put together these instructions.
