rubygems & bundler news
This month in RubyGems, We released new versions of RubyGems (3.2.22, 3.2.23, 3.2.24, and 3.2.25) and Bundler (2.2.22, 2.2.23, 2.2.24, and 2.2.25).
We also simplified Bundler internals and achieved faster bundler/setup performance. In addition to that, RubyGems saw several bug fixes and updates this month, some of which include the following:
- investigated various RubyGems and Bundler issues on GitHub such as #4717 and #4719.
- worked on the Bundler Version Locking RFC - #29.
- improved the
RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPSenvironment variable, which allows running bundled commands without needingbundle exec. - worked on automating the process of reproducing builds for gems - #3118.
- fixed several outdated definition issues (detecting whether there are Gemfile changes over the lockfile or not, to potentially reuse the information in the lockfile and avoid having to resolve dependencies at all).
- fixed the
--conservativeflag to allow finer-grained bundle updates. - worked on smoothing the transition to secure RubyGems sources fully and fixed the regressions we create as we proceed.
In July, Rubygems gained 169 new commits, contributed by 14 authors. There were 1,878 additions and 1,237 deletions across 152 files.
