JRuby 9000 is the new version of JRuby, representing years of effort and
large-scale reboots of several JRuby subsystems. It is expected to be
compatible with Ruby 2.2.x and stay in sync with C Ruby.
Major features of JRuby 9000:
- Ruby 2.2 compatibility
- A new optimizing runtime based on a traditional compiler design
- New POSIX-friendly IO and Process
- Fully ported encoding/transcoding logic from MRI
Read our blog entry on JRuby 9000 for more information.
We finally made it to 9.0.0.0. As the flood gates open and we get some
people trying this new major version for the first time we expect to get a
stream of issue reports. JRuby 9k should be stable and production ready but
real world users hitting it for the first time generally uncovers new
issues. Because of this, we expect to fairly quickly have followup point
releases.
If you do find issues then report them on using our issue tracker at
http://bugs.jruby.org. We also encourage users to join our IRC channel
(#jruby on Freenode) and mailing lists. You may also follow @jruby on
Twitter for updates.
It is important to point out that when we do put out JRuby 9.0.0.0 that
this is only the starting point. Our new internals gives us lots of
potential to keep pushing the bar higher on JRuby performance.
Notable updates since rc2
Two reverts on classloading to restore behavior to be like JRuby 1.7.x
Non-lambda return passing through a lambda could return improperly
Fixed two visibility issues on methods (#3123, #3135)
39 issues fixed for 9.0.0.0 (note: some issues in list predate rc2
release)
Truffle
JRuby 9000 includes an preliminary version of support for the Truffle
language implementation framework and Graal VM from Oracle Labs. In future
releases, Truffle will provide an extremely high performance and compatible
backend for JRuby. The Truffle backend supports almost all Ruby language
features and the majority of the core library, and is able to run simple
gems and web frameworks such as Sinatra. It has no support for RubyGems,
Rails or any database drivers, does not work on Windows, and is not ready
to be tested with applications at this stage. More information on Truffle
and Graal can be found in the JRuby Wiki.
