I’m attaching a patch to make Ruby 4.0 available in Redmine.
- Since
ostructis no longer a default gem, I added it to the Gemfile. https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025/12/25/ruby-4-0-0-released/#stdlib-updates - I confirmed that the Ruby 4.0 compatible test suite passes on GitHub Actions. (CI run on my fork: https://github.com/ishikawa999/redmine/actions/runs/21240857495)
- I tried running Redmine on Ruby 4.0 and did a quick check.

I'm wondering if it's safe to merge this into 6.1.2 considering there are no breaking changes added by this update? Or how we can ship this faster without releasing 7.0.0 that needs more time to finish the work.
I agree that it is safe to merge this into the 6.0-stable branch.
Traditionally, Redmine has supported newer Ruby versions only with major releases. However, in cases like this—where the new Ruby version requires no code changes or only minimal ones—I think it is reasonable to support it in a minor release.

- Target version changed from 6.1.2 to 7.0.0
After upgrading Ruby to 4.0.1 in the Redmine instance in our company, we observed a significant slowdown in CommonMark Markdown rendering. The root cause is still unknown, but our current investigation strongly suggests that the upgrade from Ruby 3.4 to 4.0.1 is responsible.
Therefore, I believe that changes for Ruby 4.0 support should not be merged into the 6.1-stable branch at least until this issue is resolved.

Go MAEDA, should we pin Ruby to 4.0.3 or 4.0.4?

I think it is sufficient to mention in doc/INSTALL that Ruby 4.0.0 through 4.0.3 have performance issues, and I do not think we should reject these versions in the Gemfile. The reasons are as follows.
- No officially released version of Redmine supports Ruby 4.0 yet. Even after a Ruby 4.0-compatible version of Redmine is released, most users will likely use the latest Ruby 4.0 release, which is currently Ruby 4.0.5. Therefore, it is unlikely that many users will run Redmine with the Ruby 4.0.0 through 4.0.3 versions with performance issues.
- If we reject specific Ruby 4.0 versions in the Gemfile, users who are already running trunk Redmine on Ruby 4.0 may suddenly become unable to start Redmine after running
svn up. - It would make the Ruby version requirements in the Gemfile more complicated.
- If similar issues are found in future Ruby versions, we would need to keep adding more reject conditions to the Gemfile.
