Removing or lowering required Ruby

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I'd like to try out Tiddle with a project running a previous Ruby (2.1.1) which I'm not able to update. However, currently the gemspec specifies ~> 2.2.0. Is there any specific functionality in Tiddle that requires a Ruby that recent?

Peeking through the code, I didn't find any, but I could be wrong.

I added Ruby 2.1.6 to be tested on Travis and it works, so I lowered required Ruby version.

I specified 2.2.0 because this was the only version which I tested Tiddle against. I didn't want to mislead anybody with promises of support about which I'm not sure.

I understand. My initial thought was that since Tiddle was so minimal (in a good way!) that you could probably let your hard dependencies (devise, activerecord) specify that minimum version for you. However, I've never tried to maintain a gem before, so I have no idea if this is a good practice.

Thanks for the update!
