Unfortunately no Mac OS 12 and 13 M1 VMs are available anymore with any of the free CI providers to build a binary package for that platform.
Fedora 40 packages have been removed as the wxRuby3 project by default only provides packages for a distributions last 2 releases.
Due to build CI problems using Ruby 2.5 most of the prebuilt Ruby 2.5 packages have been omitted. wxRuby3 v.1.6.0 should still build locally with Ruby 2.5 though.

How to install

gem install wxruby3

See the INSTALL documentation for more details.
Binary packages for major platforms are available as release assets on Github.
