You can expect libraries to follow Rails' lead.
The current rails (4.x) supports 1.9, but next year's rails (5.0) will require 2.x. So about the time that rails 5 comes out I would try to be ready to run 2.x in order to enjoy library compatibility.
- andyl 12y agoI believe Rails5 will require Ruby 2.2.x (which does garbage collection on symbols).
- haberman 12y agoThat makes sense. According to the download page (http://rubyonrails.org/download/ http://rubyonrails.org/download/), the current Rails version requires Ruby 1.9.3 or newer. Hopefully testing with Ruby 1.9.3 and the newest (Ruby 2.1.3) will give enough assurance that it works on all the versions in between.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> The current rails (4.x) supports 1.9, but next year's rails (5.0) will require 2.x. The recent Ruby 2.2-preview1 announcement included a statement that the upcoming Rails 5.0 would require Ruby 2.2 (which should have a general release this Christmas), not just 2.x.
