Ruby 1.8 was EOL'd about 2.5 years ago, so in theory everyone should be long off of it. In practice, well, I thought I'd ask before making any releases that change that.
Sidenote: does dropping supported for a long-EOLd version of the software constitute a major version change under SemVer? None of the public interfaces would change (it's a performance-focused release I'm considering). -- Bill Dueber Library Systems Programmer University of Michigan Library
