-- This month, we laid foundational work toward bringing Python-style **wheels** to RubyGem, aimed at improving the overall experience of both **using and producing gems with native extensions**.
-- Following several rounds of community feedback, the focus has shifted toward a broader vision: combining **compatibility tags**, **sigstore attestations**, and **common platform build workflows** (with SLSA, trusted publishing, etc.) to streamline how precompiled gems are distributed and consumed.
-- We’re actively incorporating the feedback we've received and will be sharing **updated, concrete proposals** for these improvements soon.

 **Ruby Usage Stats 2024-2025**
 
-Ruby version usage continues to trend steadily toward modern releases. In May 2025, Ruby 3.3 became trending, growing to 24.25%, while Ruby 3.4, released in December 2024, jumped to 9.3% adoption in just five months. Ruby 3.2 held stable at 33%, but its share may begin declining soon as newer versions take over. Meanwhile, Ruby 3.1, which reached end-of-life on March 31, 2025, dropped from 25.3% a year ago to 14.5%. Ruby 3.0, already EOL since April 2024, continues to decline (now 3.5%), and older Ruby 2.x versions are steadily fading as the ecosystem moves forward.

-**Experimental Namespacing Lands in Ruby Master**
+**Experimental namespacing lands in Ruby Master**
 
-- A new **experimental namespacing** feature [has been introduced in Ruby master](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21311), allowing the creation of **virtual top-level namespaces**.
+- A new experimental namespacing feature has been introduced in Ruby master, allowing the creation of virtual top-level namespaces.
 - This enables applications to `require` or `load` libraries in isolation from the global namespace—including `.rb` files and native extensions. Dependencies loaded within a namespace remain confined to it.
-- Namespacing helps avoid **name conflicts** between libraries that define the same modules or classes, and prevents **unintended sharing of global objects**.
-- The feature opens the door for safer, more modular Ruby applications.
-- Join the discussions (for example [the one about feature final name](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21385)) and help shaping the future of Ruby!
+- Currently Ruby has only one global shared namespace. The proposed namespacing feature will help avoid name conflicts between libraries that define the same modules or classes, and prevent unintended sharing of global objects.
+- The feature is fully compatible with libraries that use relative name resolution and opens the door for safer, more modular Ruby applications.
