Older versions of Ruby and Ruby on rails have been wondering what would happen to them as newer and improved versions and flavors of the much loved yet less used open-source platform, and they got an answer form Engine Yard who has announced it will be taking over the responsibilities of maintaining the older release of the said platform. The company would take over bug-handling duties as well as the need for security issues that have to be addressed. they would also be keeping tabs on the speed of the Ruby interpreter and may even improve on it as needed to allow developed products to continue function in today’s PH ruled internet. More preferred by business oriented users and developers due to stronger security and other features, it has been left in the dust by the widely used PHP language.
Ruby is there and it will remain to be there and the newer builds of the program have been pushing ahead with improvements and changes that is makign it a bot more competitive to PHP. They are also going to work to bridge the gap that is formed by the fact that the libraries used for the older version of the language 1.8.6 are still to be made compatible with the newer 1.9 version. The company (Engine Yard) has put to rest rumors of a hostile takeover that is being heard frequently buzzing over the net, that they are merely going to help the aging language maintain relevance in today’s open-source world of the internet.
