This issue tracks the release note for the following F26 Change:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Ruby_2.4
If you want to write this release note, then:
Note that sometimes, the contact people are unresponsive. Try to do your best, but if nobody gets back to you, it's not the end of the world.
Once you're done with the above, make sure to either commit the relnote to an appropriate section of the Release Notes book, or, if you're not familiar with Git, DocBook, or whatever else, just add it to this issue as a comment and let pbokoc[1] know that you're done with this one and you'd like the note included. Be sure to do this at least one day before the final release (so the limit is July 10 according to the current schedule). Also make sure to do this even for relnotes that haven't been checked by the change owner.
[0] You can do that by asking the change owner listed on the wiki page; alternatively you can infer it by checking the tracker bug (linked in Wiki) in Bugzilla and looking at its status; see bug comments for details. Ask someone on the mailing list or on IRC if you're not sure. [1] In #fedora-docs on FreeNode (UTC+1 timezone, online mostly during the day on weekdays), or pbokoc@redhat.com if you can't get a hold of me on IRC.
@vondruch Can you expand briefly on the Release Note I've copied from your change below? Specifically can you make sure a developer who uses Ruby understands what they will see and maybe highlight 2-3 significant new features? I noticed you said this change makes Fedora the superior ruby development platform. Expanding on that would be awesome for both this and marketing.
From the change:
The Ruby 2.4 bumps soname, therefore Ruby packages, which use binary extensions, should be rebuilt. Nevertheless, since upstream paid great attention to source compatibility, no changes to your code are needed.
