What is EOL (End of Life) for Rails 2.3?

Question

What is the EOL date for Rails 2.3?

Answer 1

2.3 reached EOL in 2013-06-25 when rails 4.0.0 was released.

Only the "last major release series" will receive patches, according to Michael Kozyarski . Therefore, when 4.0 was released, 2.3 stopped receiving fixes.

The rails team hoped to give up support much earlier. In 2011-12-29, Aaron said :

.. we do not plan to release another version 2.3 [for 2.3.14]

Prior to this, in 2011-06-08, Aaron said :

This branch [2.3] is in security mode. We will release it when problems arise, such as “the sky is falling” or major security issues. It's time to focus on moving Rails forward!

Answer 2

There is a commercial service that will continue to provide security fixes for Rails 2.3 after the version reaches EOL (when Rails 4 is released).
