Does Ruby truly follow semantic versioning now? I still see the patch version. $ ruby -v ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-darwin13.0]

No they don't exactly follow semantic versioning, which is as useful as not following semantic versioning at all. Specifically, I believe they're planning on breaking API compatibility within major version numbers.
