with Ruby 1.9.4. The community participation lately has been great. Keep
reporting issues and sending pull requests.
Changes of note:
- Dozens of 1.9-mode compatibility fixes
- Many IO and encoding issues fixed
- Transcoding support for :xml entity encoding
- Proc and block dispatch perf improvements
- Fiber and Enumerator#next improvements and fixes
- Fixed a regression in windows java native launcher
- Experimental Ruby 2.0 support (most features and stdlib included)
- 90%+ complete Ripper support
- OpenSSL fixes and updated to newer Bouncy Castle library
- Updates and fixes to FFI subsystem (compat with C ext, AIX support, etc)
- Long running regexp can be interrupted by Thread#kill and raise
- 137 issues fixed for 1.7.4
