September 2018 RubyGems Updates
by Stephanie Morillo
Welcome to the RubyGems monthly update! As part of our efforts at Ruby Together, we publish a recap of the work that we’ve done the previous month. Read on to find out what updates were made to RubyGems and RubyGems.org in September.
rubygems.org news
This month, we updated seven dependencies on rubygems.org and simplified and sped up some rack-attack integration tests with the help of @mjankowski. We also discovered that it was possible to create “hidden” gems that would not show up in gem lists, and @kerrizor implemented a fix. Overall, rubygems.org got 15 commits from 2 authors making 146 additions and 263 deletions across 8 files.
