[ruby-core:22130] A message from the maintainer of the 1.8.7+ series

From: Akinori MUSHA <akinori.musha@...>
Date: 2009-02-15 05:09:00 UTC
List: ruby-core #22130
Hi,

As I don't feel like sounding very constructive or informative by
simply responding to the critisisms and concerns we are facing, I
think I need to send a clear message to express my intentions.  So
allow me to post it as follows.


Library developers,

If you are looking ahead and come to have a strong will to move to
1.9, don't hesitate and never look too far behind.  1.9 is the only
future and 1.8.6 or prior is the ancient past for you.  1.8.7 is the
past too, but you might as well support ruby 1.8.7+ as an extra gift
for not-ready-to-move users only if you feel it's not too hard.  In
ruby 1.8.8, syntactic compatibility will be added to make it even
easier to write code for both 1.9 and 1.8.8+ in a single source file
without compromising optimizations for 1.9.

If you still need to write code for 1.8.6 but have some intention to
support 1.9 in future, then try running your program under ruby 1.8.7
and the forthcoming ruby 1.8.8 with a warning option (-w) as a start.
Your code will mostly run on 1.8.7+ because it has been and will be
kept backward compatible with 1.8.6 to a high extent (much more than
is thought!) except some rare/unfortunate cases that are fully
documented in the NEWS file bundled with 1.8.7.  Since 1.8.7 is
essentially 1.8.6 plus backports from 1.9, it is almost certain that
your code will not run on 1.9 if it doesn't even on 1.8.7.  One more
good thing about running your code on a more recent 1.8 is that you
can see what would stop working on 1.9 because many compatibility
warnings have been added since 1.8.6.  Try the ruby_1_8 head if you
want more.

1.8.6 will keep being continuously supported by a decent maintainer
group, which I am thankful from the heart.  We will not drop 1.8.6 or
1.8.7+ any soon, but keep in mind that ruby 1.9 is the future.  Please
consider adding support for 1.9 to your code.  I, as the maintainer of
the 1.8.7+ series, hope 1.8.7+ could be used as a support tool to help
you on your way.

Regards,

--
