		jewel on Feb 8, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ruby 2.0.0-rc2 is released It seems like it'd be possible to automate gem testing for this scenario. Take the 1000 most popular gems, run the tests that come with the gem in 1.9.3. Run the tests again with the RC and see if any that succeed with the stable version fail with the RC.

In theory that would work, but the effort to get all the dependencies working for each gem could be overwhelming.
