There is nothing one can do against that, but... |

...this is factually incorrect. There are new features added quite |
| 10 |
often, but minor versions are generally backwards-compatible. The one |
| 11 |
exception was the 1.8->1.9 switch years ago. I have done quite a bit of |
| 12 |
web developing with it and never had an API break problem with Ruby |
| 13 |
itself, save the aforementioned 1.8/1.9 switch. |

Granted, gems are quite different. RubyOnRails especially releases new |
| 16 |
(breaking) versions way too fast for me; that's why I prefer to use |
| 17 |
different libraries. |
