(tomwhite: rev 1689660) * /avro/trunk/CHANGES.txt * /avro/trunk/lang/ruby/lib/avro/data_file.rb * /avro/trunk/lang/ruby/lib/avro/io.rb > Drop support for Ruby 1.8 > ------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1559 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1559 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Wish > Affects Versions: 1.7.7 > Reporter: Willem van Bergen > Assignee: Willem van Bergen > Fix For: 1.8.0 > > Attachments: AVRO-1559.patch > > > - Ruby 1.8 is EOL, and is even security issues aren't addressed anymore. > - It is also getting hard to set up Ruby 1.8 to run the tests (e.g. on a > recent OSX, it won't compile without manual fiddling). > - Handling character encodings in Ruby 1.9 is very different than Ruby 1.8. > Supporting both at the same time adds a lot of overhead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
