Ruby on Rails
FrameworkRuby on Rails 8.1 is the newest actively maintained release, currently at patch 8.1.4. 2 of 11 tracked cycles remain supported. The next cycle scheduled to reach end-of-life is 8.0, on November 7, 2026.
Support pattern
How Ruby on Rails has behaved across the cycles tracked here, rather than what its policy documents state. Useful for judging how much runway a version is likely to have before you commit to it.
Support windows are getting shorter: the most recent cycles run about 4 months less than the earlier ones.
Computed from release and end-of-life dates tracked for Ruby on Rails. Medians are used rather than averages so one unusually short or long release does not skew the figure. Cycles with no recorded end-of-life date are excluded from the support window.
