09:12 AM Ruby Revision 4068ff3b (git): [ruby/json] Add missing GC_GUARD in `fbuffer_append_str`

Ref: https://github.com/ruby/json/commit/fff25c9f4b9c
`StringValuePtr` use `volatile` so the compiler is less likely

09:09 AM Ruby Feature #21869: Add receive_all Method to Ractor API for Message Batching

> I understand the idea that batching helps in this case where you want to explicitly flush, but that's a pretty specific example, e.g. it's uncommon to even call IO#flush at all in Ruby.
Not specific to Ractor, but I relatively often... byroot (Jean Boussier)

[Bug #21860]

08:52 AM Ruby Feature #21930: Add Ractor#empty? method to check for pending messages without blocking

I don't have a string opinion on whether `empty?` is useful, that being said it's present on `Thread::Queue` and I support trying to mirror the API as much as possible.
But `empty?` alone isn't that helpful because of TOC/TOU problem ... byroot (Jean Boussier)
