The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.4.0RC2
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download
The JRuby 1.4.0 release 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.
Due to the overwhelming feedback we got from RC1, we have fixed a
number of reported issues (shown below) for RC2. We expect that this will
be our last RC before 1.4.0 final.
****Please try your apps against 1.4.0RC2 ASAP and report problems****
1.4.0RC2 Highlights:
- Windows Native Launcher
- Solves many reported bugs with our old .bat scripts
1.4.0RC1 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-compatible syntax error reporting
- 232 bugs fixed since 1.3.1
We want to give a couple of special acknowledgments 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.
