Yet, it is source level backward compatible with Ruby 1.9.3, so you will continue to work.
The updated Ruby also provides better integration with Fedora, especially JRuby, but it is one step closer to be prepared for other interpreters, such as Rubinius. Providing of custom ruby loader with working name "multiruby" [1] will allow to easily switch interpreters executing your script, provides fallback to whatever Ruby interpreter is available on you system, yet still keeps backward compatibility with all your Ruby scripts.
