Rather than pouring over the API and changelog, download the free e-book Ruby on Rails 2.1 What’s New.

Written by Carlos Brando and available in English and Portuguese, this book iterates though the changes with special focus on the new functionality.

My favorite new change? Named Scopes.  In rails 2.0, I was able to kludge together something that worked in a similar way. However, this is more elegant and allows me go back into my app and remove my ugly code :-) .
