by Gift Egwuenu
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 January.
RubyGems News
In January, we released new versions of Bundler v2.2.5, v2.2.6, v2.2.7, and v2.2.8, and corresponding versions of RubyGems v3.2.5, v3.2.6, v3.2.7, and v3.2.8. The main improvements in these releases are resolver correctness and better performance. Learn more about specific changes made from the changelogs: Bundler Changelog and RubyGems Changelog. We’re refining our RFC for Bundler Version Locking -#29 and plan to move on to the implementation soon.
