 Rails generally stays close to the latest released Ruby version when it's released:

-* Rails 3 and above requires Ruby 1.8.7 or higher. Support for all of the previous Ruby versions has been dropped officially and you should upgrade as early as possible.
-* Rails 3.2.x will be the last branch to support Ruby 1.8.7.
-* Rails 4 will support only Ruby 1.9.3.
