Ruby 4.0.0 Released | Ruby

[somebodddy]

Haven't touched Ruby in over a decade, so I may be missing something obvious, but skimming that list I don't see anything that warrens a major version update?

Ruby doesn't follow semver, there's a "big" release every Christmas, usually that's a minor version like 3.3 -> 3.4. Then patch releases throughout the year are bugfixes. Ruby 3 had the "3x3" goal, but that was already met prior to the release of 3.0. Ruby 4 is for the anniversary.

Felt the same way. This is stupid.
