From: "byroot (Jean Boussier) via ruby-core" Date: 2025-11-03T11:11:55+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:123660] [Ruby Misc#21657] Question: Is Ruby 4.0 planned for December 2025 or later? Issue #21657 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier). @retro, hard disagree, because if everyone did what you suggest, it means that every year: - You need to wait on every single one of you dependency to cut a new release with an updated gemspec. When you get hundreds of dependencies this may take months, or even never happen if the gem is abandoned. - If in the meantime one dependency made a breaking change or bumped a major version, you need to migrate to the latest version of that gem before you can upgrade Ruby. The same thing happen with gem that impose an upper version on Rails, it's extremely annoying and absolutely not practical. I agree than in an ideal world, the bundler resolver would know about such incompatibilities, but they can't be known in advance. IMO this is something that gem authors should be able to declare AFTER the gem is released not at release (but I understand this is challenging). ---------------------------------------- Misc #21657: Question: Is Ruby 4.0 planned for December 2025 or later? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21657#change-115042 * Author: dmitry.pogrebnoy (Dmitry Pogrebnoy) * Status: Feedback ---------------------------------------- Hello Ruby core team, I noticed that the first preview of Ruby 3.5 has been released, and at the same time there���s some talk in the community about Ruby 4.0 potentially arriving in December 2025. Could you please clarify what the current roadmap looks like? Is Ruby 4.0 already planned for this December, or is the next stable release still Ruby 3.5? Having a clear, public roadmap would really help library and tooling authors (like IDE vendors) prepare for upcoming versions and provide better support.
