The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.27

JRuby 1.7.27 is our latest update release of JRuby 1.7.x. The primary goal  
of 1.7 point releases is to fill out any missing compatibility issues with  
Ruby 1.9.3. This is very likely our last 1.7.x release barring any release  
mistake or strong pushback. We are hoping all JRuby users can migrate to  
JRuby 9k and get on the Ruby 2.x train…
