From: "mame (Yusuke Endoh) via ruby-core" Date: 2025-11-05T15:34:43+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:123689] [Ruby Misc#21657] Question: Is Ruby 4.0 planned for December 2025 or later? Issue #21657 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh). Just adding my two cents to the off-topic discussion. I honestly feel that the `~>` constraint was a terrible idea. It's going to be a huge pain when Ruby 4.0 is released (at the end of this year, perhaps?), and all the gems locked to `s.required_ruby_version = "~> 3.x"` fail to install. Setting an upper bound like this is ultimately bad for users. See https://github.com/ruby/rubygems/pull/4109. Feels like we haven't learned anything since the Ruby 3.0 release, have we? ���� ---------------------------------------- Misc #21657: Question: Is Ruby 4.0 planned for December 2025 or later? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21657#change-115071 * 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.
