Migrating to Ruby 1.9 was a presentation given by Bruce Williams at Scotland on Rails earlier this month. The slides, available in PDF format, stand on their own extremely well, and will prove a useful resource for anyone not too deeply engrossed in Ruby 1.9 yet. Bruce covers most of the key changes.
As an aside, Bruce was interviewed by Satish Talim of RubyLearning.com recently.
