JRuby 9.2.x is compatible with Ruby 2.5.x and stays in sync with C Ruby. As
always there is a mix of miscellaneous fixes so be sure to read the issue
list below. All users are encouraged to upgrade.
Compatiblity

    Argument-count errors will now produce a more accurate backtrace.
(#6335, #6768, #6771, #6846, #6928)

Standard Library

    jruby-openssl has been updated to 0.11.0, which includes fixes for
expired and replaced certificate verification. (#6871, #6909)

Native Integration

    The built-in FFI library has been updated to match the FFI gem, and can
now be upgraded independently of JRuby. (#6732, #6747)
    FFI-based core methods on Windows and Solaris have been modified to
delay activating FFI until after RubyGems has loaded any upgrades. (#6751,
#6760, #6762)

Java Integration

    Nested jar files (jars packaged within another application jar) should
load more quickly with caching improvements. (#6730, #6734, #6740)
