Septemeber 2022 RubyGems Updates
by Gift Egwuenu
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 September.
RubyGems News
This month in RubyGems, we released RubyGems v3.3.22 and Bundler v2.3.22.
The following improvements and fixes are also included in these releases (see the changelog for more information):
- added
bundle-consolecommand in Bundler’s documentation - #5901. - updated the Bundler metadata source code URI for accuracy in gemspec - #5896.
- removed warning for old TLS version connections - #5928.
- removed no longer needed
fiddlehacks since RubyInstaller released patch versions to not loadfiddleon boot - #5902.
In addition, this month we’ve been working on migrating Bundler’s internal resolver engine to use PubGrub, which should result in much better error messages and resolution performance. We hope to release this work soon.
We have also removed the feature of auto-sudo’ing when there are not enough permissions to perform certain operations, because it was considered harmful and hardly useful. This removal will be released with Bundler 2.4.0
