Description
The minimum Ruby version was set to 3.4 in all of the Gemfiles. However, Ruby 3.2 only went EOL at the end of last month, and Ruby 3.3 has another 11 months of security maintenance. Dropping support for supported Ruby versions is an unnecessary burden on consumers.
Use Case
Ruby versions have a 3.25 year maintenance lifecycle, and we plan maintenance and upgrades accordingly. Requiring a language upgrade to get new library features disrupts that maintenance plan.
Proposed Solution
Ruby 3.3 is added to the test matrix and the gemspecs are updated to set the minimum version to 3.3.
Alternatives Considered
Vendoring gems and tweaking the gemspecs. It works but is not ideal.
Additional Context
See the Ruby site for the maintenance and EOL schedule.
