Sidekiq: Review official Ruby and Rails version support

Created on 16 Jan 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: mperham/sidekiq

For Sidekiq 5.0, determine minimum supported Ruby and Rails versions. We currently support a minimum of Ruby 2.0 and Rails 3.2.

I'm in favor of bumping that to Ruby 2.1 and Rails 4.0. Neither Ruby 2.0 or Rails 3.2 are officially supported anymore by their respective teams.

Ruby 2.0 was released in Feb 2013, making it 4 years old. Rails 3.2 was released in Spring 2012, making it 5 years old.

Several major gems have recently added a minimum version of Ruby 2.2 due to the symbol GC feature. I'm thinking that if Rails 5.0 requires a minimum of Ruby 2.2.2, maybe we should do the same and skip Ruby 2.1 altogether.

I wonder if we should yank '5.0 -> 5.0.3' which can be installed on ruby 2.1 but will fail on boot
