Redmine

I’m attaching a patch to make Ruby 4.0 available in Redmine.

• Since ostruct is 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.

Setting the target version to 7.0.0.

Committed the patch in r24367. Thank you.

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.
