I (and others) are upset at Ruby's normally great messaging being totally absent here. As a lay user of Ruby, I have no idea what changed in this release.
Well, they did say "TEENY" so I just take it as "nothing changed, some bugs were fixed, etc". They also link to the list of commits, and looking at that list you can see a lot of bug fixes (leaks, race conditions... etc), improvements (number precision, better docs)...
I'm still only a little way into analyzing it, but here's what I wrote for my own summary so far:
Along with the usual tweaks, Onigmo has been updated (and now supports a new operator), OpenSSL (2.0.2 to 2.0.3), RubyGems (2.6.8 to 2.6.10), a race between read and close has been fixed, fixing including multiple proc blocks as literal hash values, and more.
I'm doing my own write up of both the operator and the overall release with the most major changes for Ruby Weekly tomorrow, simply because, yeah, I can't really link to the main release page as it has nothing on it(!) :-)
You are seriously congratulating the sloppy "see the commit log for changes". I've never seen a release announcement worse than that. Not even a one paragraph summary. A shame

I'm particularly interested to work out what the new 'absent operator' in regexes is for and am studying it now: https://github.com/k-takata/Onigmo/issues/82
Now to sleep..!
