Dear gem maintainers 👋 Rails 8.1 just dropped, but many gems can’t be used because of overly strict gemspec constraints. Please don’t hard-restrict Rails versions, let us test early and report real issues sooner! ❤️ Thanks

yes. I have opened several issues to gem with a link to @byroot.bsky.social comment here github.com/svenfuchs/ra... for those gems every last major Rails release was just updating that line. I think having in the readme and in the CI matrix the official supported version is good enough.

github.comUpdate for Rails 8 by Schwad · Pull Request #1130 · svenfuchs/rails-i18nRef: #962 Allow runtime railties 8.0.0 dependency. Bump version number to 8.0.0. Update Gemfile.lock.

VC only Rails dependency is ActiveSupport. I am pretty sure that if there is a breaking change in ActiveSupport it would be picked up by a CI running against Rails main.
