April 2023 RubyGems Updates
Welcome to the RubyGems monthly update! As part of our efforts at Ruby Central, 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 April.
RubyGems News
This month in RubyGems, we released RubyGems 3.4.11, 3.4.12 and Bundler 2.4.11, 2.4.12.
The following improvements and fixes are included in these releases (see the changelog for more information):
- reduced chances of Bundler reverting to old APIs by removing a fallback to full indexes on big gemfiles in RubyGems - #6578.
- made RubyGems less dependent on default gems by using a vendored
pure-rubyYAML parser to load its own configuration - #6615. - added some development improvements like RuboCop enhancements - #6599, #6608, #6586, #6590, #6582, and unified our tasks to vendor gems - #6628.
In April, RubyGems gained 128 new commits contributed by 12 authors. There were 2,125 additions and 1,244 deletions across 175 files.
