What are the expiration dates of the current versions of MRI Ruby and JRuby?

I know that support for MRI Ruby 1.8.7 will end in June this year. What about 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 and JRuby 1.6.0? Is this still known? I could not find this information.

JRuby 1.6.8 was the latest JRuby 1.6.x. It supports Ruby 1.9.2 and Ruby 1.8.7. Everyone is advised to update JRuby 1.7.2. Since we will be releasing more versions, I think you can tell that it is no longer supported.

JRuby 1.7.x will be supported at least until we release the next major version of JRuby and we have not finished working on the next major version yet. JRuby 1.7.x supports Ruby 1.9.3 and Ruby 1.8.7.



JRuby 9000/2/8 (capture version number) will support the latest Ruby 1.9.x and Ruby 2.0. It's probably Ruby 2.0 only depending on how long it takes to complete and how many users are moving from Ruby 1.9 -> Ruby 2.0.

This answer doesn't give a hard-and-fast amount of how long support will be supported, but I'm pretty sure JRuby 1.7.x will support through next summer.
