v1.16.0.rc1 / 2023-12-13

v1.16.0.rc1 / 2023-12-13

Ruby

This release introduces native gem support for Ruby 3.3, ahead of the final release. Ruby 3.3.0 final support depends on whether the ABI changes between 3.3.0-rc1 and 3.3.0 final (see note at https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2023/12/11/ruby-3-3-0-rc1-released). Expect a v1.16.0 final release that coincides with Ruby's 3.3.0 final release.

This release ends support for Ruby 2.7, for which upstream support ended 2023-03-31.

Notable Changes
