Online release notes:


IronRuby 1.1
 is the first release after IronRuby 1.0, the first stable version of the Ruby 1.8.6 compiler for the .NET framework. IronRuby 1.1 is NOT fully backwards compatible with IronRuby 1.0; most notably that IronRuby 1.1 no longer supports .NET 2.0 SP1. .NET 3.5 is the minimum requirement for IronRuby 1.1, though using .NET 4.0 is strongly advised. Also, though this release is primarily bug-fixes for 1.0, consider any new features "Alpha" quality.

This release adds support for
 
.NET extension methods in IronRuby. This works by calling the using_clr_extensions method, which activates all extension methods defined on classes defined in a given namespace, regardless of the assembly they are defined in; assemblies loaded in the future that define extension methods in the activated namespace will automatically appear on the correct types. Here’s a simple example of using LINQ extension methods:

load_assembly "System.Core"
using_clr_extensions System::Linq
# ...
products.
  where(lambda { |p| p.units_in_stock == 0 }).
  each { |x| puts x.product_name }

For more information see the LINQ 101 sampes ported to IronRuby

IronRuby 1.1 is now licensed under the 
Apache License (Version 2), rather than the Microsoft Public License. This decision is based upon continual feedback and questions from the community, as well as for consistency between IronPython and the Dynamic Language Runtime, which are now also licensed under the Apache License.

Other fixes in IronRuby 1.1:
1754 CLR method enumeration returns invisible members
1462 eval'ing a heredoc and defining a method causes an ArgumentError
4363 Dir.glob should support more than one argument
4003 "".rindex("somestring") raises RangeError
4204 require and $" issue. MRI difference
4448 IO.readline does not take account of the optional separator
4446 enumerator#each_cons
4089 "Start and End must be well ordered" using Heredoc in console.
4128 Can't send SIGINT to autospec
4031 Rubygems are very slow after including Windows forms
3392 overriding indexer
3279 Python-Ruby interop issues
2609 Splatting COM out params
2243 C# constructor with internal visibility inaccessible when using -X:PrivateBinding
772 System::TypeLoadException when including C/CLI interface with modopts

For more detailed list of changes and bugfixes please see the CHANGELOG.txt in the release.

As always, if you find any bugs or have a feature request, please 
open an issue on CodePlex

Sincerely,
The IronRuby Core Team
