New Rails Releases and End of Support Announcement

Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce that Rails versions 7.0.10, 7.1.6, 7.2.3, 8.0.4, and 8.1.1 have been released!

These releases contain bug fixes and improvements across all supported versions.

End of Support for Rails 7.0 and 7.1

Along with these releases, we are announcing that Rails 7.0 and 7.1 have reached their end-of-life and are no longer supported.

• Rails 7.0.x was released on December 15, 2021, and has now completed its security support period. Version 7.0.10 is the final release of this series.
• Rails 7.1.x was released on October 5, 2023, and has now completed its security support period. Version 7.1.6 is the final release of this series.

If you are still running Rails 7.0 or 7.1, we strongly encourage you to upgrade to a supported version as soon as possible. These versions will no longer receive security fixes or bug fixes.

Extended Support for Rails 8.0

We are also announcing that Rails 8.0 support has been extended by 6 months. This extension was made because Rails 8.1 was released more than six months after Rails 8.0, and per our maintenance policy, we extend support when no release is made within one year.

This means Rails 8.0 will now receive Bug fixes until May 7, 2026 (extended from November 7, 2025).

After these releases, the following versions are currently supported:

Bug Fixes Support

• Rails 8.1.x - Supported until October 10, 2026
