Has anyone ever actually had anything break from a Ruby version update? I know Matz basically never does breaking changes, last I remember is the 1.8.7 -> 1.9.2 update...

I've only ever just straight up downloaded the source and installed it myself, never had any issues with Ruby updates...

They moved quite some things out of the standard library so you need require/gems for some things which used to be batteries included.

Also small changes like File.exists? being deprecated and then removed.

Yeah, and for some of these changes they gave you warnings for like a year straight in preparation.
