Notice: support for Ruby < 2.4 going away in RDF.rb version 3.1

I expect that the Ruby RDF gems will be updated to minor release 3.1 by 2020. At this point, no major feature changes are anticipated (with an eye on RDF* and other forthcoming initiatives), but the world is moving on, and I intend to drop support for versions of Ruby < 2.4 (currently 2.2.2 is the minimum version supported). Many gems we depend on are dropping support for older versions of ruby, and support for Ruby 2.3 has officially ended [1]. Subsequently, we will only support RDF.rb on versions of Ruby which are officially supported. Support for alternate versions (JRuby and RBX) is minimal, as it’s difficult to keep continuous integration working.

An upcoming version of RDF.rb will begin issuing DEPRECATION notices if run on versions of Ruby < 2.4 (RUBY_VERSION < 2.4). If there’s interest, we’ll maintain minimum support for version 3.0 through 2020.
