Posted by shyouhei on 30 Jun 2013 I wish I could say something epic but sadly my English skill is very limited, so I just say what I say: it’s the end, as planned. About Ruby 1.8.7 Now, a majority of you are using Ruby 1.9.x or 2.0.0 (IF NOT PLEASE DO). In the past however, there were other versions like 1.4.x, 1.6.x, and 1.8.x. They were the lineal descendents of original Ruby 1.0, so-called MRI.
