The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.2.0RC2
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
JRuby 1.2.0RC2 has fixed many many compatibility issues and continued to
improve general performance. Due to popular demand we have a new versioning
system. 1.x.y was our old number system where x was the major release and y
was the minor release. Our new system just chops off the vestigial '1.' from
the front. 1.3, 1.4, ..., 1.x will just be minor releases of our current
major release.
****Please try your apps against 1.2.0RC2 ASAP and report problems****
Highlights:
- Improved Ruby 1.9 support (via --1.9)
- Compiler now works
- Almost all of the missing 1.9 methods have been added
- New experimental --fast flag which does more aggressive optimizations
- Large scale compiler and runtime cleanup and performance audit
- Parsing is 3-6x faster now.
- Preliminary android support (Ruboto)
- Rails pathname issue fixed on Windows
- Major bug triage since last release
- 1052 revisions since 1.1.6
- 232 bugs fixed since 1.1.6
****Bugs fixed since RC1****
