Bug: Update i18n.gemspec to drop support for Ruby 2.x #686

Closed j0sh3rs closed 1 month ago

j0sh3rs commented 8 months ago

v1.14.3 dropped support for Ruby 2.x but did not bump the gemspec, which would allow 2.x clients to request the new version, but fail to install without recompiling.

I am not sure I want to make this change right at this moment, as I'm sensitive to people potentially still running 2.7. Perhaps next year.

To further clarify: https://endoflife.date/ruby lists Ruby 3.0 support as ended 4 months ago. So should this library support only 3.1 and up? But then it also says that in 6 months Ruby 3.1 support runs out. So then should this be 3.2 and up? I think yes, but only after 2025-03-31. So I will make this change then.

I would rather make one change at one date, and provide advance notice of this. Perhaps a post-install message would make this clearer to the wider group of users, starting roughly today and cleaned out when the restriction is tightened in April next yeear.
