#71 A RailsCasts Retrospective, New Rubygems Command, Ractors, and More... 🔐📖👩‍🏫

Happy Thursday!

Here is issue #71 of our newsletter, where we collect news and tools that we find interesting for your current or future Rails projects:

1. Rails 7.0.4.3 and 6.1.7.3 have been released! The vulnerabilities are low risk, but it's always good to upgrade just in case 🔐

2. Did you ever wonder what happened to RailsCasts? Ryan Bates is writing a retrospective on it. You can read Part 1 here 📖


Don't have time to upgrade your Rails app? We offer Roadmaps and full-service upgrades!


3. Rubygems added a new experimental gem exec command. Check out the PR.

4. Are you using Ractors? If not, Julie Kent wrote a great introductory guide on what they are and how to use them 👩‍🏫

5. Davide Santangelo wrote an article on how the Rack Module works.

We hope you find these links useful. Feel free to forward it to your friends! ;)

Best,
