The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.6.6.
- Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
- Download: http://www.jruby.org/download
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 1.6.5.1 (and lower) are encouraged
to upgrade to 1.6.6.
Because master keeps getting further and further away from our 1.6
branch we have decided to make this our last 1.6 release. We largely
fulfilled our goal of having reasonable 1.9 support. Follow up fixes
for 1.9 support will only be fixed on master from this point forward.
JRuby 1.7.0 will be the next release of JRuby.
### Notable Changes:
- Updated stdlib to match Ruby 1.8.7p357 and 1.9.2p312
- Updated RubyGems to 1.8.15
- Multiple 1.9-mode yield/splat bugs fixed (pp, rspec 2.8 working again)
- Multiple 1.9-mode encoding bugs fixed
- Critical fixes in Random and Fiber
- Map Scala operator methods to symbolic names ($plus, etc)
