How to upgrade a Rails 3 project to the latest gems?

Question

I created a new Ruby on Rails 3.0.1 project, and then globally updated the gems to version 3.0.3.

After some digging, I finished editing the Gemfile project to say "3.0.3" instead of "3.0.1", and then ran "rake rails: update", and now everything seems to be -date.

However, I cannot find links on the Internet for this with Rails 3, so I want to make sure that this is the right way to do something. Confirmation has been appreciated. Thank.

If you are changing the version in your Gemfile, you must run bundle updateso that all the gems are updated to the latest versions specified Gemfile. rake rails:updateused to update things like Prototype assets to the latest version.
