The pathname gem needs a new release
Description
The current pathname gem release (0.4.0) has several issues:
Many warnings on Ruby 4.0¶
It emits many constant & method redefinition warnings.
This happens notably when an application has pathname as a dependency (direct or transitive) in the Gemfile.
This is with the default $VERBOSE:
$ gem i pathname
$ ruby -e 'gem "pathname"; require "pathname"'

And 53 warnings with -w:

The gem fails to install on JRuby¶
See https://github.com/ruby/pathname/issues/94#issuecomment-4016566593
The gem crashes on TruffleRuby¶
It causes errors like pathname.so: undefined symbol: rb_block_call_kw.
See https://github.com/ruby/pathname/issues/94#issue-4038536603
Release request¶
These 3 issues are fixed on ruby/pathname master by https://github.com/ruby/pathname/pull/56 and https://github.com/ruby/pathname/pull/57, but no release including those fixes has been published yet.
I also opened a GitHub issue about the release request here: https://github.com/ruby/pathname/issues/94.
Would it be possible to make a new pathname release?
