v1.9.1 / 2025-01-20

v1.9.1 / 2025-01-20

Features

• Introduce RakeCompilerDock.set_ruby_cc_version to make it easier to set RUBY_CC_VERSION without hardcoding specific patch-level ruby versions. See the README for more deteails. #149, #150 @flavorjones

v1.9.0 / 2025-01-19

v1.9.0 / 2025-01-19

Changes

• Bump Ruby 3.3 to v3.3.7 (from v3.3.5). #147 @flavorjones
• The default rbenv ruby in the container is now Ruby v3.4.1 (previously the default was 3.1.6), which allows gems to drop Ruby 3.1 from their gemspecs. Fixes #145. #146 @flavorjones
• Ruby 3.4.x, 3.3.x, 3.2.x, 3.1.x, and 3.0.x are cross-compiled using Ruby v3.4.1. #146 @flavorjones

CRuby container summary

• native rubies: 3.4.1 (default), 3.1.6, 2.5.9
• RUBY_CC_VERSION=3.4.1:3.3.7:3.2.6:3.1.6:3.0.7:2.7.8:2.6.10:2.5.9:2.4.10

v1.8.0 / 2025-01-05

Notable changes

All versions of Ruby in the build containers are the latest patch version. #135 @flavorjones

• RUBY_CC_VERSION=3.4.1:3.3.5:3.2.6:3.1.6:3.0.7:2.7.8:2.6.10:2.5.9:2.4.10

Other changes

• Base ruby updated to v3.1.6 (from v3.1.3), which is now the default rbenv ruby.
• (Darwin) Set OSXCROSS_PKG_CONFIG_USE_NATIVE_VARIABLES=1 to successfully build the 3.0 series.
• (Darwin) The linker flags include -Wl,-flat_namespace for 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 rubies. Previously this was only needed for 3.2+, but code backported to 2.7.7, 3.0.5, and 3.1.3 required it for those versions as well.

v1.6.0 / 2024-12-13

Notable changes

Standardizing all Linux build images on Ubuntu

In this release, we upgraded the base image for the x86_64-linux-gnu and x86-linux-gnu images from manylinux2014 to ubuntu:20.04. (manylinux2014 reached end-of-life earlier this year.) As a result, all of the build images are using the same base image, simplifying things considerably. (#122, #126) @flavorjones

⚠ Note there are two important changes due to this upgrade:

1. The minimum supported version of GLIBC for the x86*-linux-gnu images has increased from 2.17 to 2.29 for x86_64 and x86 architectures. (Note that GLIBC was already pinned to 2.29 for ARM architectures.)
2. Precompiled gems built with the x86*linux-gnu images are less likely to be compatible with Musl libc, and may segfault when run on Musl systems.

For (2) above, if you have been shipping a single x86_64-linux native gem for both GNU and Musl systems, please make sure you test your gems on a Musl system before shipping them. See the actions workflow in flavorjones/ruby-c-extensions-explained for an example of how to do this rigorously.

Ruby 3.3 support upgraded to 3.3.5

Update Ruby 3.3 support from 3.3.0-rc1 to 3.3.5. Note that the 3.3.x releases are not usable until 3.3.5 because of https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20088.

⚠ Note that if you were specifying 3.3.0 in your RUBY_CC_VERSION environment variable, that string must be updated to 3.3.5.

Added

• Add support for the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable, which can be used to create reproducible builds. (#128) @segiddins

1.5.2 / 2024-07-30

1.5.2 / 2024-07-30

With CentOS 7 becoming EOL as of 2024-06-30, yum will no longer work in the x86_64-linux-gnu and
x86-linux-gnu images shipped with v1.5.1 and earlier.

In this release, we've updated the manylinux2014 base image for the x86_64-linux-gnu and
x86-linux-gnu images to point at a version patched by pypa to use valid yum mirrors. See
pypa/manylinux#1628 for more information.

1.5.1 / 2024-06-03

1.5.1 / 2024-06-03

Improvements

The x86_64-linux-gnu and x86-linux-gnu containers (based on manylinux_2014) now have a modern version of pkg-config, v0.29.2, installed on them in /usr/local/bin/pkg-config. The distro's version (v0.27.1) is still in /usr/bin/pkg-config if you need to fall back for some reason, but the newer version will be used by default and should be backwards-compatible.
