Welcome to the RubyGems monthly update! As part of our efforts at Ruby Together, we publish a recap of the work that we’ve done the previous month. Read on to find out what updates were made to RubyGems and RubyGems.org in April.
RubyGems changes in April included a fix for a recent regression in RubyGems to interfere with common bundler usages, improvement to a missing spec error, and shipping a new RSpec runner that works better with parallelization. We also updated our CI to ruby 2.7 and made a PR to manage bundler development dependencies through bundler.
For the month, Rubygems gained 181 new commits, contributed by 15 authors. There were 1857 additions and 1015 deletions across 132 files.
In April, we worked on keeping RubyGems.org dependencies up to date. Thanks to @aditya, we sent email notification requesting users to enable MFA leading to three fold increase in MFA enabled account.
In addition to those developments, we worked on the following:
- Merged bundler-site and RubyGems guides PRs.
- Updated our ElasticSearch Index to support prefix queries; previously these were returning incomplete search results.
- Investigated Intermittent CI failure rubygems/bundler-site/issues/519.
- PR to add validation to string columns with user input rubygems/rubygems.org#2346
- Fixed the broken animation on stats page and ensured Github stars count were using the metadata URI attributes rubygems/rubygems.org#2335
- Worked on optimizations for our stats and just_updated endpoints, this will help us reduce 1200ms and 600ms in response time respectively. rubygems/rubygems.org#2333
- Finished work on reset of rate limit on successful gem push rubygems/rubygems.org#2311
Thanks to @johnfrancismccann, our releases page shows a consistent number of items per page.
For the month, Rubygems.org gained 70 new commits, contributed by 8 authors. There were 337 additions and 143 deletions across 39 files.

Following it something what I would write for rubygems.org, includes some items not mentioned above:
We update our ElasticSearch index to support prefix queries; previously these were returning incomplete search results. We worked on optimizations for our stats and just_updated endpoints, and it will help us reduce 1200ms and 600ms in response time of these endpoints, respectively. We also fixed the broken animation on the stats page and ensured Github stars count were using the metadata URI attributes.
