Subject: [ruby-core:34754] [Ruby 1.8-Feature#4239] Let's begin a talk for "1.8.8" -- How's needed for surviving 1.8?

Issue #4239 has been updated by Zeno Davatz.


Dear Matsumoto-san

I guess I learned a lot of Ruby-Politics today. I would summarize like this:

1. You prefer the Top-Down approach. Inventing new features on the sketch board not integrating them based on patches. I take Oniguruma as an example.

2. Your versioning is a about as opposite as it could be to the Kernel versioning. Your release cycle is as Austin says: paradigm.major.minor-ppatch. I do not understand that yet.

3. New Features are designed, gems have to adapt, even if gems worked across major versions. Example: pg (0.10.1) gem on Ruby 1.8.6, Ruby 1.9.1 is ok, but on Ruby 1.9.2 it is broken according to our App.

Best
Zeno
