The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.6.2.

JRuby 1.6.2 is our second update to 1.6.x. The main motivation
besides spinning incremental releases quicker was a nasty YAML bug
which prevented a number of Rubygems from installing (see JRUBY-5581
-- ArrayIndexOutOfBounds problem). Expect JRuby 1.6.3 in a couple of
weeks.
The primary goal of the 1.6.x series is to round out our 1.9 support
by fixing any reported incompatibilities. Of course, as with any JRuby
release, we will continue fixing any found incompatibilities and also
improve performance. All users of 1.6.1 (and lower) are encouraged to
upgrade to 1.6.2.
Notable:
- YAML problem generating an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception JRUBY-5581
- Java names of the form getX were not getting aliases of get_x, x (regression)
- A couple of embedding errors (JRUBY-5734, JRUBY-5635)
- A few 1.9 issues resolved
Issues fixed since 1.6.1:
JRUBY-5805 Kernel.warn should use 2 writes instead of 1 puts
JRUBY-5802 Problem loading yaml string in 1.9 mode with JRuby 1.6 and newer
