03:20 PM Ruby Bug #20662 (Feedback): pack("g") completely discards any actual NaN value and always packs the same single-precision bytes for a NaN

05:37 AM Ruby Misc #15893: open-uri: URI.open status

So what is code that needs to be portable to older Rubies supposed to call now? `URI.open` only works since 2.5. We need to support 2.3 and 2.4 as well.
`OpenURI.open_uri` ?

10:28 PM Ruby Feature #9390: Support for the ALPN TLS extension

Note that RFC 7301 has published: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301
