Willem van Bergen updated AVRO-1559:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.8.0
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
This patch removes the checks for `bytesize` and `force_encoding`; on Ruby 1.9+
they will always exist.
> Drop support for Ruby 1.8
> -------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1559
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1559
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7
> Reporter: Willem van Bergen
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> - Ruby 1.8 is EOL, and is even security issues aren't addressed anymore.
> - It is also getting hard to set up Ruby 1.8 to run the tests (e.g. on a
> recent OSX, it won't compile without manual fiddling).
> - Handling character encodings in Ruby 1.9 is very different than Ruby 1.8.
> Supporting both at the same time adds a lot of overhead.
