Here's the current compatibility plan, let me know if this concerns anyone:
> IronRuby 1.0.x releases: ONLY ruby-1.8.6 compatible > =================================================== > IronRuby has created a 1.0-servicing branch (not on GitHub yet, but > shortly); all ruby-1.8.6 compatible releases will come out of that > branch, starting with the just-released 1.0-rc2, followed by 1.0, and > any future 1.0.x releases. We will also removing any > 1.9 features from the 1.0-servicing branch (-19 and -20 flags), so > IronRuby 1.0 will only be 1.8.6 compatible. > > > IronRuby 1.x releases: ONLY ruby-1.9 compatible > =============================================== > Active development will still happens in the master branch, which will > be only focused on ruby-1.9 support. This means the master branch will > lose ruby-1.8.6 compatibility as breaking changes between ruby-1.8.6 > and ruby-1.9 are implemented. However, we'll probably look at > implementing 1.8.7 features that are also in 1.9, so we might get > ruby-1.8.7 compatibility as a byproduct of that, but it's not > something we'll be testing. Most ruby implementations are also moving away from supporting 1.8 and 1.9 in the same codebase as well. Even more extreme, MacRuby is completely skipping 1.8 compatibility, but that technically makes sense as they are a fork of the 1.9 codebase. ~Jimmy _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
