Welcome to Ruby Core Updates for January 13th, 2026.
Peter Zhu merged pull request 15838, which improves documentation for Module comparison methods. This change updates the docs in object.c with clearer explanations and better examples for how modules can be compared to each other.
Peter Zhu followed up with four additional commits that individually enhance documentation for each Module comparison operator. The commits improve docs for the greater-than-or-equal, less-than-or-equal, less-than, and greater-than methods, making these comparison operations more accessible to developers.
Jun Aruga committed a fix for test_cipher.rb to resolve issues when running tests in FIPS mode. This change modifies 30 lines in the OpenSSL test suite to ensure compatibility with Federal Information Processing Standards requirements.
What's next: The documentation improvements for Module comparison methods are now complete and ready for the next Ruby release. The OpenSSL FIPS compatibility fix strengthens Ruby's cryptographic testing in security-focused environments.
That's your Ruby Core update for today.
