Unfortunately, #ruby is dead again this year.
Hello Rubyist. Working hard all day is great, but maybe it's time to cool down. New in RubyGems/Bundler 4.0.13:
https://blog.rubygems.org/2026/06/03/cooldown-let-new-gems-be-vetted.html
I released RubyGems/Bundler 4.0.12 with regular release cycle.
https://blog.rubygems.org/2026/05/20/4.0.12-released.html
This release includes bug fixes from @willnet , kurotaky and our Ruby friends who participated in the Code Party.
@shugo ちょっと遅くなりましたが気合い入れてリリースしました https://github.com/tdiary/tdiary-style-gfm/releases/tag/v1.4.0
I got "nokogiri-1.16.7-arm64-darwin requires ruby version >= 3.0, < 3.4.dev, which is incompatible with the current version, 3.4.0.dev" always while debugging for development version of ruby.

Heading to Krakow via Helsinki ✈️
Submitted my proposal to @rubyconf 2024.
I just released Ruby 3.1.6. https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2024/05/29/ruby-3-1-6-released/
This release only fixed build problems for some platforms. There is no bugfix and vulnerability fix. You don't need to upgrade it if you can use …
https://github.com/ruby/rexml/issues/131 is all the reasons why I hate SemVer. No one submit resolving code, only blame maintainers.
I'm Ruby 3.1 maintainer now. Ruby core team decide to update maintainer of stable branches.
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20491
We will improve our release work and your ruby experience. #ruby
