Notable Changes

Ruby

This release introduces native gem support for Ruby 3.4.

This release ends support for Ruby 3.0, for which upstream support ended 2024-04-23.

This release ships separate precompiled GNU and Musl gems for all linux platforms. Previously both GNU and Musl target systems could use and install the same gem, e.g., the platform gem for x86_64-linux. Now, however, the precompiled gem platforms would be x86_64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-musl. So long as you're on bundler >= 2.5.6 this should be seamless other than perhaps needing to update the platforms in your "Gemfile.lock".

This release drops precompiled native platform gems for x86-linux and x86-mingw32. These platforms are still supported. Users on these platforms must install the "ruby platform" gem which requires a compiler toolchain. See Installing the ruby platform gem in the installation docs. (#3369, #3081)

Improved

• [CRuby] CSS and XPath queries are faster now that Node#xpath, Node#css, and related functions are re-using the underlying xpath context object (which is expensive to initialize). We benchmarked a 2.8x improvement for a 6kb file, and a more modest 1.3x improvement for a 70kb file. (#3378) @flavorjones
