+Welcome to the RubyGems monthly update! As part of our efforts at Ruby Central, we publish a recap of the work that we’ve done the previous month. Read on to find out what updates were made to RubyGems and RubyGems.org in October.
+
+## RubyGems News
+This month in RubyGems, we released new versions of RubyGems [3.3.23](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#3323--2022-10-05), [3.3.24](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#3324--2022-10-17) and Bundler [2.3.23](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/bundler/CHANGELOG.md#2323-october-5-2022), [2.3.24](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/bundler/CHANGELOG.md#2324-october-17-2022).
+
+The following improvements and fixes are also included in these releases (see the changelog for more information):
+
+- added a small development environment that was contributed to make our `util/rubocop` script use "in-tree" Bundler - [#5979](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5979).
+- improved resolution performance and correctness by adding resolver spec groups for Ruby platform only when necessary. This is in preparation for the upcoming migration to Pub Grub - [#5698](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5698).
+- added `SHA256` in test certificates - [#5982](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5982).
+- made an update to allow JRuby to pass keywords to `Kernel#warn` - [#6002](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/6002).
+- unified source code and documentation to always use HTTPS under the hood with dealing with GitHub sources. - [#5993](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5993) and [#6026](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/6026).
+- fixed several issues with `Gem::Platform` handling in musl platforms [#5915](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5915), in arm platforms with eabi modifiers [#5957](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5957), and to properly deal with string parameters when comparing [#5939](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5939).
+- improved handling of permanent redirect responses when pushing gems - [#5931](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5931).
+- fixed an obscure issue affecting file extraction of some specific `.gem` packages - [#5906](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/5906).
+- migrated the GitLab CI template generated by `bundle gem` to be the one now recommended by GitLab.
