question: is ruby 2.0.0 still the recommended version?

[peggyl]

The README recommends Ruby v2.0.0.

According to the official Ruby page https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/, 2.0.0 is no longer maintained / EOLed, and 2.1.10 will be EOLed soon. The current stable releases are 2.2.5 and 2.3.1.

Based on this, is the recommended version for travis still 2.0.0? Are there known issues with using 2.3.1?

For what it's worth, I've been using 2.3.1p112 with no issues this week.

Despite statements in the README, Ruby v2.0.0 is no longer sufficient. My attempt to install travis 1.8.2 on a Mac with Ruby version ruby 2.0.0p648 fails with:

ERROR:  Error installing travis:
    net-http-persistent requires Ruby version ~> 2.1.

Sorry for the long delay.

We will be requiring 2.3 in the not-so-distant future (and the documents will be updated accordingly). In general, though, 2.4 is already EOL'd, so I personally recommend 2.5 or later for everyday use.

I'm closing this for now.
