Update FAQ with ruby EOL version #7

Closed nathanhruby closed 7 years ago

nathanhruby commented 7 years ago

The FAQ currently lists the last supported EOL version of Ruby as 1.9.3:

We will target the latest the EOL Ruby, currently that is 1.9.3.

Can the mentioned version be updated to 2.0.0 as per the Ruby docs?

The current 1.9.3 statement on the FAQ page is confusing for people who don't spend a lot of time in the Ruby ecosystem but sometimes want to contribute back to the plugins. It's hard to know what to do with build/test failures.

@nathanhruby yes we should update that, can you PR this?

majormoses commented 7 years ago

@nathanhruby we have updated this and clarified our stance to support non EOL versions and will attempt to have EOL.max but in cases where you need to break compatibility for a justifiable reason it is ok in a major release of the gem. This should not really be an issue really as people should be using the embedded ruby in sensu and we will certainly keep these versions in mind when dropping version support.
