Rails-4 to Rails-5 kicks the crap out of Snow Leopard to El Capitan. So the full name would be Ruby Rails-5?

I understand the problem you're grappling with now. Beyond my expertise: If you're compatible with Rails-4, for example, and Rails has been upgraded to Rails-5, is there any way to know whether or not you have an incompatibility issue without diving into the changelog anyway? I can see a few different ways that becomes a bottomless time-sink no matter how clean your versioning nomenclature is.
