Subject: [ruby-core:34772] [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 Chuck

Just for my understanding:

Ruby 1.8.6 is very stable. So is Ruby 1.8.7 less stable then Ruby 1.8.6 because it is an uneven number?

Ruby 1.9.2 is stable. But Ruby 1.9.1 is development. That is what you taught me.

If so, I would expect, that Ruby 1.9.1 breaks things, but Ruby 1.9.2 does not. So grandmother users should always be able to hopp from even to even. In this case they would hopp from 1.8.6 to 1.8.8 to 1.9.2.

But this does not seem to be the case. And that also confused Lucas Nussbaum.

Best
Zeno
