We've had a lot of issues and PRs around updates - events, new videos, changelog, and more. I tried to bring all that together in the newsletter. ♥️

Let me know what you think and if you have ideas for March! ✨

Garbage collection time is exploding !
YJIT in test is disabled. Enabling it makes it even worst. We don't have any particular settings for the GC in our app

Yes it makes no sens. I ll try profile it

Has anyone noticed slow downs in Rspec test suite when upgrading from Ruby 3.4 to 4.0 ?

Our test suits with 4.0 is 2x slower than 3.4

We have no changes beside the Ruby version to upgrade to 4.0

Happy 2026, we hope to see you at a Ruby event soon! ❤️

#ruby #rubyevents #rubyfriends

So cool 👍

It's not *officially* sanctioned, but I made a social icon SVG for @rubyevents.org to go on the @blueridgeruby.com footer. Kinda satisfying. 😌

Congrats on the new Ruby website launch, this looks great!

Also very happy to see that @rubyevents.org is linked from the landing page! ❤️

Finally, www.ruby-lang.org/en/ has a new design.

VC only Rails dependency is ActiveSupport. I am pretty sure that if there is a breaking change in ActiveSupport it would be picked up by a CI running against Rails main.

Update for Rails 8 by Schwad · Pull Request #1130 · svenfuchs/rails-i18n Ref: #962 Allow runtime railties 8.0.0 dependency. Bump version number to 8.0.0. Update Gemfile.lock.

yes. I have opened several issues to gem with a link to @byroot.bsky.social comment here github.com/svenfuchs/ra...

for those gems every last major Rails release was just updating that line. I think having in the readme and in the CI matrix the official supported version is good enough.

Dear gem maintainers 👋

Rails 8.1 just dropped, but many gems can’t be used because of overly strict gemspec constraints.

Please don’t hard-restrict Rails versions, let us test early and report real issues sooner! ❤️

Thanks

1h48:44 is quite sporty IMHO

As you are getting serious into running probably time to switch to Garmin for the watch 😂

The talk recordings from @rmrubyconf.bsky.social 2025 are now live on @rubyevents.org, go check them out!

We also just shipped a new look for the featured section on the home page! 🎨

Congrats this is an excellent achievement

If they offer you back the access will you accept it ? I think I read some maintainers refused when they were invited back.

Isn’t it the role of the foundation ?

Ruby Gems and Bundler will be moved into the Ruby organization.

* Ruby Core and Ruby Central will be managing it together
* No changes to license, IP, or copyright
* rubygems.org operated by Ruby Central

I don't like taking credits form others 😀

ah yes not really a gem though. I think most of the integration tests were generated by authentication-zero from what I remember

Curious about the details because I don't have any gem as far as I know

Preparing an event too it only really deviated when I felt from a horse 😭

Additionally to collecting stamps in your physical @therubypassport.com, you can now also collect and see these stamps on @rubyevents.org!

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted.
