Version 1.5.3 breaks 1.9.3 compatibility, but not documented as such

[BanzaiMan]

Yes, I know 1.9.3 has been EOL'd many months ago. It is OK if this is a carefully considered decision. But https://github.com/jwt/ruby-jwt/blob/v1.5.3/ruby-jwt.gemspec does not indicate it.

It should be either indicated as such, or reinstate 1.9.x support.

Upon require, it fails:

$ pry
[1] pry(main)> require 'jwt'
SyntaxError: /Users/asari/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551/gems/jwt-1.5.3/lib/jwt/verify.rb:7: unknown type of %string

I wonder if the bump to 1.5.3 from 1.5.2 should have been a major bump
(breaking backwards-compatibility) per semantic versioning?

Encountered same issue. Currently forcing 1.5.2 version in Gemfile. Version bump should have denoted a breaking change.

I made 2 PRs to fix the 1.5.3 issues. Mentioned in #133.

PRs: #135 #136

If you find the time - you can check out the master branch and provide some feedback.

Version 1.5.3 yanked.

[excpt]

Version 1.5.4 released.

👋 Just dropping by to mention that the yanking of 1.5.3 broke our builds, since the version in our Gemfile.lock is no longer available. I’d suggest that this be considered more carefully before yanking versions post-release in future.
