I've seen breaking changes between Ruby 1.8.6 and 1.8.7, so I'm really suspicious of this claim. Start with which version of Ruby are breaking changes not to be expected until 3.0?



From 2.0 -> 3.0.

Ruby doesn't follow SemVer, so expecting no breaking changes between 1.8.6 and 1.8.7 wouldn't necessarily be correct. I don't remember what the policy was at the time.


BTW, it was just announced that Ruby will use SemVer starting from Ruby 2.1.0.

> MINOR: Increase at each December 25th; may be API incompatible

Well now, that's not exactly semver, is it…?


Excellent, thank you. I missed that during the holidays.
