JRuby 1.7.8 is our eigth update release since JRuby 1.7.0. The primary goal
of 1.7 point releases is to fill out any missing compatibility issues with
Ruby 1.9.3. The community participation lately has been great. Keep
reporting issues and sending pull requests.
This release was an insanely quick followup release to 1.7.7. We realized a
few hours ago after releasing 1.7.7 that we accidentally shipped the MacOS
bin/jruby binary launcher. JRuby 1.7.8 is essentially 1.7.7 with the single
correction to our bin dist file.
Changes of note:
- 21 issues fixed
- Fixed Windows ‘rails new’ regression (bundle install exits)
