Issue #19616 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). I noticed Rails's Gemfile added a dependency to readline-ext in https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/a6e0b0acb2d1e85a8f90bdf956e7549bcad46896 due to some incompatibility. I filed https://github.com/ruby/reline/issues/546 to hopefully resolve that incompatibility. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19616: Remove ext/readline from Ruby 3.3 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19616#change-103380 * Author: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- We still bundled ext/readline that is GNU Readline wrapper. But we already have reline written by pure Ruby. It's time to remove it from Ruby releases. Motivation: * We can skip to install readline or libedit for testing ruby language. * I hope to reduce external dependencies from the perspective of ruby-build maintainer. If users hope to use ext/readline, they can install it with `gem install readline-ext`. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
