The following are the specific policies and dates for support of our Ruby agent. New Relic Agents follow Semantic Versioning to indicate MAJOR versions may include breaking changes. MAJOR versions may drop support for language runtimes that have reached End-of-Life according to the maintainer. Additionally, MAJOR versions may drop support for and remove certain instrumentation. See our documentation about general EOL policies for information about New Relic's overall end-of-life policy.
