This release includes security fixes. Please check the topics below for details.

Ruby 2.4 is now under the state of the security maintenance phase, until the end of March of 2020. After that date, maintenance of Ruby 2.4 will be ended. We recommend you start planning the migration to newer versions of Ruby, such as 2.6 or 2.5.

Update (Oct 2nd 4:00 UTC): We’re working on the issue that the Ruby 2.4.8 release tarball doesn’t install under non-root user. Follow [Bug #16197] for detailed updates.
