Rubber 4 Plans

[Kevin Menard]

Hi all,

I made mention in the Rubber 3.2.0 release announcement that Rubber 4's
release would target Ruby 2.0+ and its release would be in the near
future. I'd really like to get a sense of how many people would be
affected by dropping support for Ruby 1.9.3. I intend on maintaining the
3.x branch with 1.9.3 compatibility for as long as is practical. Having
a sense of its impact would be very helpful.

Thanks,

On our part, we switched to ruby2.1 last year and haven’t looked back. :-)

2.2 has to wait till we finally get on rails4.2, which will be sometime before midyear.

Hi Kevin,

What about JRuby, what's the minimum version of JRuby that will be supported by Rubber 4. We're still running Jruby 1.7.12

I'm going to try to get things working with JRuby 1.7.x's 2.0 mode. It's not entirely Ruby 2.0 compatible, but I think we can limit Rubber development to the subset supported by 1.7.x. However, I can't guarantee what the dependency graph does. E.g., if net-ssh decides it wants to use Module#prepend, I think you're just going to be out of luck. I will keep 3.x releases for a little while in case that doesn't work out so well.

 

You may want to consider working on an upgrade to JRuby 9.x. It should be a drop-in replacement for 1.7.x in most cases and will give you Ruby 2.2 compatibility (soon to be 2.3 compatibility).
