+
+We announce that all support of the Ruby 2.3 series has ended.
+
+After the release of Ruby 2.3.7 on March 28, 2018,
+the support of the Ruby 2.3 series was in the security maintenance phase.
+Now, after one year has passed, this phase has ended.
+Therefore, on March 31, 2019, all support of the Ruby 2.3 series ends.
+Security and bug fixes from more recent Ruby versions will no longer be
+backported to 2.3. There won't be any patches of 2.3 either.
+We highly recommend that you upgrade to Ruby 2.6 or 2.5 as soon as possible.
+
+## About currently supported Ruby versions
