Not updating changelogs is one thing that might be forgivable, but deliberately breaking things so that a specific platform isn't supported is pretty serious and a pretty serious alegation. Which projects are these, and how was Windows support broken?
- petercooper 18y agoAlas, I can't point fingers regarding things that I don't fully understand (I'm not a Windows developer or related to the projects claimed) - commentary is as good as I can do on the Windows side and I cannot quote e-mails without permission. One project that was mentioned, however, was DataMapper. However, once I've investigated the claims, have permission, and got more of a story together, I'll be posting on Ruby Inside about it. There may or may not be a story, of course :)
- qhoxie 18y agoOuch, are you speaking about the 0.9.8 update? I have on fairly good confidence that there was nothing deliberate, but I'd be interested to hear what has been said on your end.
- petercooper 18y agoI can't betray confidence by quoting, but no specific malice was claimed, simply that the quality of the process behind some releases was nowhere near that which you'd expect from a popular project.
