Issue #21768 has been updated by jhawthorn (John Hawthorn). To me it seems too close to the release to make this kind of breaking change. Maybe we can consider it for Ruby 4.1 instead? It would be nice if removals made it into a `-preview` release. ---------------------------------------- Misc #21768: Remove deprecated functions https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21768#change-115504 * Author: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- There many deprecated functions.
