## Contrib Repository

The [opentelemetry-ruby-contrib repository][contrib-repo] contains instrumentation libraries for many popular Ruby gems, including Rails, Rack, Sinatra, and others, so you can start using OpenTelemetry with minimal changes to your application. See the [contrib README][contrib-repo] for more details.

## Versioning

OpenTelemetry Ruby follows the [versioning and stability document][otel-versioning] in the OpenTelemetry specification. Notably, we adhere to the outlined version numbering exception, which states that experimental signals may have a `0.x` version number.

## Compatibility

OpenTelemetry Ruby ensures compatibility with the current supported versions of
the [Ruby language](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/).
