Currently, versions 3.2 and 4.2 coexist. Since Rails 3.2 is running out of support, the time has come to switch to 4.2.</p> <p>While there is ongoing progress to remove Rails 3.2 from the ports tree, there are some major updates blocking this process. The most recent blocker was the outstanding update of <tt>www/redmine</tt> from 2.6 to 3.2. This has completed successfully, so we can now move on.</p> <p>To help with porting or testing, feel free to contact me or the <tt>ruby@FreeBSD.org</tt> mailing list.</p> </body> </project> </report>
