Just to let everybody know, Ruby 3.1 has landed in Rawhide [1]. The binary packages have been rebuilt, but there might be other compatibility issue. If you need help fixing your package, please come to discuss the issue to ruby-sig ML.

== Summary ==
Ruby 3.1 is the latest stable version of Ruby. Many new features and
improvements are included for the increasingly diverse and expanding
demands for Ruby. With this major update from Ruby 3.0 in Fedora 35 to
Ruby 3.1 in Fedora 36, Fedora becomes the superior Ruby development
platform.

== Detailed Description ==
Ruby 3.1 is upstream's new major release of Ruby. Many new features
and improvements are included.

=== YJIT: New experimental in-process JIT compiler ===

Ruby 3.1 merges YJIT, a new in-process JIT compiler developed by Shopify.

Since Ruby 2.6 introduced MJIT in 2018, its performance greatly
improved, and finally we achieved Ruby3x3 last year. But even though
Optcarrot has shown impressive speedups, the JIT hasn’t benefited real
world business applications.

Recently Shopify contributed many Ruby improvements to speed up their
Rails application. YJIT is an important contribution, and aims to
improve the performance of Rails applications.

Though MJIT is a method-based JIT compiler and uses an external C
compiler, YJIT uses Basic Block Versioning and includes JIT compiler
inside it. With Lazy Basic Block Versioning (LBBV) it first compiles
the beginning of a method, and incrementally compiles the rest when
the type of arguments and variables are dynamically determined. See
YJIT: a basic block versioning JIT compiler for CRuby for a detailed
introduction.

With this technology, YJIT achieves both fast warmup time and
performance improvements on most real-world software, up to 22% on
railsbench, 39% on liquid-render.

YJIT is still an experimental feature, and as such, it is disabled by
default. If you want to use this, specify the --yjit command-line
option to enable YJIT. It is also limited to macOS & Linux on x86-64
platforms for now.

=== debug gem: A new debugger ===

A new debugger debug.gem is bundled. debug.gem is fast debugger
implementation and it provides many features like remote debugging,
colorful REPL, IDE (VSCode) integration and more. It replaces
lib/debug.rb standard library.

=== error_highlight: Fine-grained error location in backtrace ===

A built-in gem, error_highlight, has been introduced. It includes
fine-grained error location in backtrace:

$ ruby test.rb
test.rb:1:in `<main>': undefined method `time' for 1:Integer (NoMethodError)

1.time {}
  ^^^^^
Did you mean?  times

This gem is enabled by default. You can disable it by using a
command-line option --disable-error_highlight. See the repository in
detail.

=== Irb improvement ===

=== Other Notable New Features ===

* Language
** Values in Hash literals and keyword arguments can be omitted.
** Pin operator in pattern matching now takes an expression.
* RBS
** `rbs collection` has been introduced to manage gems’ RBSs.
** Many signatures for built-in and standard libraries have been added/updated.
** It includes many bug fixes and performance improvements too.
* TypeProf
** Experimental IDE support has been implemented.
** Many bug fixes and performance improvements.

=== Performance improvements ===

* MJIT
** For workloads like Rails, the default --jit-max-cache is changed
from 100 to 10000. The JIT compiler no longer skips compilation of
methods longer than 1000 instructions.
** To support Zeitwerk of Rails, JIT-ed code is no longer cancelled
when a TracePoint for class events is enabled.

=== Other notable changes since 3.0 ===

* One-line pattern matching, e.g., ary => [x, y, z], is no longer experimental.
* Multiple assignment evaluation order has been changed slightly.
** foo[0], bar[0] = baz, qux was evaluated in order baz, qux, foo, and
then bar in Ruby 3.0. In Ruby 3.1, it is evaluated in order foo, bar,
baz, and then qux.
* Variable Width Allocation: Strings (experimental)
* Standard libraries updates


== Benefit to Fedora ==
With a latest release, Ruby language is supporting the newest language
features, which enables even faster and easier development of Ruby
applications.

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Finish packaging of Ruby 3.1. Current changes available in PR
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ruby/pull-request/106
** Rebuilding of Ruby packages providing native extensions (i.e.
packages which depends on libruby).

* Other developers:
** Rebuild of packages with binary extensions (i.e. packages which
depends on libruby) will be handled automatically, but some packages
might need fixes/updates to support Ruby 3.1 properly.

* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10478 #10478]
** The packages are going to be rebuild in side-tag, but that does not
need releng involvement nowadays.

* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:


== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
* User specific Ruby binary extensions need to be rebuild.
* Ruby packages/application dependencies might need to be adjusted if
net-* and other newly bundled gems are used.

== How To Test ==
* No special hardware is needed.
* To test, install Ruby 3.1. The test builds are pusblished in PR or
on Ruby-SIG ML
* Try to locally rebuild your packages using Ruby 3.1.
* Use the packages with your applications previously written in Ruby.
* If something doesn't work as it should, let us know.

== User Experience ==
The Ruby programs/scripts should behave as they were used to.

== Dependencies ==
<pre>
$ dnf repoquery --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide
--enablerepo=rawhide-source --arch=src --whatrequires 'ruby-devel' |
sort | uniq | wc -l
130
</pre>

== Contingency Plan ==

* Contingency mechanism: We would like to get a special buildroot tag
to be able to rebuild necessary the packages with Ruby 3.1. If
anything goes wrong, the tag could be easily dropped and previous
version of Ruby 3.0 and its dependencies stays intact. The tag would
be merged into F36 after everything is rebuild.
* Contingency deadline: Mass Rebuild
* Blocks release? No


== Documentation ==
* [http://www.ruby-doc.org/ Help and documentation for the Ruby
programming language]
* [https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v3_1_0_preview1/NEWS.md Ruby 3.1.0 NEWS]
* [https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2021/11/09/ruby-3-1-0-preview1-released/
Ruby 3.1 release announcement]

== Release Notes ==
* The Ruby 3.1 bumps soname, therefore Ruby packages, which use binary
extensions, should be rebuilt. Nevertheless, since upstream paid great
attention to source compatibility, no changes to your code are needed.
