I just switched from Ruby 1.6 to 1.8 and I see a lot of warnings in
basically all modules that I installed from RAA. Without going into
specifics, is this normal behaviour for old code that runs on 1.8?

Well, the best to do is to re-load a new version of the module from RAA
(if this version exist) and test if it give a warning.
If the new version don't exist, or if you still have a warning message :
send a private e-mail to the author to update his module (or send him a
patch).

Is 1.8 now the official latest stable release? If it’s not, then
developers might have a good reason to want to wait before changing
their code. Besides, are we sure (and I apologize if this has already
been addressed here) that all code written for 1.8 will run fine with 1.6.8?

Well, it depend how you see it :-))
pre-release are usefull, for a developer, to see if their modules will
work with the next version : this give him the time to test and adapt
their modules

Clearly not - 1.8 has additional features over 1.6.8, so if you make use of
them, your code won’t run under 1.6.8.
