Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.

Features of Ruby are shown below.

+ Simple Syntax
+ *Normal* Object-Oriented features (ex. class, method calls)
+ *Advanced* Object-Oriented features (ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
+ Operator Overloading
+ Exception Handling
+ Iterators and Closures
+ Garbage Collection
+ Dynamic Loading of Object files (on some architecture)
+ Highly Portable (works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)

This package is Ruby 2.6 release minimum base package.

   Log message:
   lang/ruby26-base: update to 2.6.8

   Ruby 2.6.8 has been released.

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

   * CVE-2021-31810: Trusting FTP PASV responses vulnerability in Net::FTP
   * CVE-2021-32066: A StartTLS stripping vulnerability in Net::IMAP
   * CVE-2021-31799: A command injection vulnerability in RDoc

   We ordinally do not fix Ruby 2.6 except security fixes, but this
   release also includes some regressed bugs and build problem fixes.
   See the commit logs for details.

   Ruby 2.6 is now under the state of the security maintenance phase,
   until the end of March of 2022.  After that date, maintenance of Ruby
   2.6 will be ended.  We recommend you start planning the migration to
   newer versions of Ruby, such as 3.0 or 2.7.
