The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.4.0RC1
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download
JRuby 1.4.0 Release Candidate 1 ends a long release cycle in which we
resolved a huge number of issues. The headline feature is a move to
Ruby 1.8.7 support, in line with Rails' own plans to make 1.8.7 the required
minimum version of Ruby.
We have also gotten more serious about out 1.9 support (--1.9). The
bigger applications mostly just work at this point, but we still have a
ways to go on 1.9 support. Please try your 1.9 code in JRuby and help us
firm things up.
Bug reports welcome and requested!
****Please try your apps against 1.4.0RC1 ASAP and report problems****
Highlights:
- JRuby is now compatible with 1.8.7 patchlevel 174
- New YAML parser Yecht (bug-for-bug compatible with Syck!)
- Improved Java Integration Support
- faster
- new java_method and java_send methods
- Windows installer
- New embedding framework
- Java 6 scripting out of the box
- New org.jruby.embed package to replace JavaEmbedUtils
- Many 1.9 mode (--1.9) fixes
- updated stdlib to 1.9.2preview2
- Rubygems now working
- Rails 2.3.3 simple apps working (2.3.4 has 1.9 bug)
- rubygems 1.3.5
- Much better error reporting
- shorter backtraces with less Java
- Ruby-compatiable syntax error reporting
- 205 bugs fixed since 1.3.1
We want to give a couple of special acknowledgements for some contributors
who went the extra mile this release cycle.
David Calavera has done a great job wrestling with Rubyspec failures and
coming up with patches.
Yoko Harada has totally revamped our embedding APIs and created a new API
called Red Bridge. This should address all of the reported embedding issues.
