Description

Also 2.7 is EOL for 2.5 years, I think such warnings or minor inconveniences are OK, and it would only affect 2.7 users keeping pp updated. So maybe it would be fine to do nothing?

I encountered test failures by this warning at bigdecimal with ruby 2.7.

Well, I agree that 2.7 support will not matter nowadays, and propose the dropping it, like as 2-4 in https://github.com/ruby/pp/issues/51#issuecomment-3368162006.

So new plan is:

  1. release 0.6.3, the final version for ruby 2.
  2. bump up to 0.7.0.
  3. drop the support for ruby 2.
  4. revert https://github.com/ruby/pp/pull/53 (optional).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the release and version configuration for 0.6.3 and 0.7.0, then inspect the Ruby 2 compatibility references and the changes in pull request #53. Check the bigdecimal-related test failure mentioned in the issue. Done means releasing the final Ruby 2-compatible version, bumping to 0.7.0, dropping Ruby 2 support, and deciding whether to revert #53.
