--------------------------------------------------------------------
In the [May
update|https://blog.rubygems.org/2025/06/16/may-rubygems-updates.html],
Rubygems team reported rubygems statistics by Ruby version.
!CleanShot 2025-12-05 at [email protected]|width=100%!
It does seem like 2.7 still has some traction (8.25%, down from 15.78% for the
previous year). Looks like a it might be worthwhile to start the CI matrix from
this version (even though it is technically EoL).
Other examples:
*
[stdio|https://github.com/ruby/stringio/blob/master/.github/workflows/ubuntu.yml#L11]
- core ruby gem, supports 2.7 and up
* [aws-sdk-core|https://rubygems.org/gems/aws-sdk-core], second most
downloaded package on RubyGems - 2.7 and up
* [rack|https://rubygems.org/gems/rack] is 2.4 and up and they [actually test
it|https://github.com/rack/rack/blob/main/.github/workflows/test.yaml#L16]
Many of the [top downloaded ruby gems|https://rubygems.org/stats] support older
Ruby versions. They are also tend to be the oldest on the market. Bundler
itself only supports active Ruby versions.

> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Build Process, Ruby - Library
> Reporter: Dmytro Shteflyuk
> Assignee: Dmytro Shteflyuk
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: CleanShot 2025-12-05 at [email protected]
>
> Time Spent: 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> * Build is currently breaking for modern Ruby versions (see related tickets)
> * Need to make a decision on which Ruby versions are supports (see below)
> * Cross-tests break on UUID fields
> * There something weird going on with SSL
> Currently working on addressing all that in
> https://github.com/kpumuk/thrift/commits/cross-test-ruby/ (will cleanup/split
> to MRs/rewrite once the build is green).
> h2. Ruby versions
> _from https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/3249#issuecomment-3563902783_
> Currently supported versions are 3.2 and above https://endoflife.date/ruby,
> which might be too aggressive, maybe? I'm thinking about 2.7 and up
> (https://github.com/kpumuk/thrift/actions/runs/19521001691), but can of
> course lower it.
> It is also would make sense to limit support to Ruby versions that did not
> reach their end of life. This would not only free up the resources on the CI,
> but allow to use modern features and upgrade dependencies. Users who decide
> to use outdated Ruby versions might as well continue using outdated versions
> of the Thrift gem.
