Issue #19616 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). Status changed from Open to Closed I removed `ext/readline` at https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/59fd67fc3d405e529e038172e769ff20a8fb5535 Welcome comments for migrating to `reline` if you have concern. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19616: Remove ext/readline from Ruby 3.3 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19616#change-102997 * 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/
