JRuby 1.6.0.RC3 is the last release candidate of JRuby 1.6.0.
JRuby 1.6.0 is the largest release of JRuby to date. This release
fixes hundreds of user issues and brings compatibility with Ruby 1.9.2
to a very high level. We have made Windows a primary supported
platform by adding it as a continuous integration platform, and JRuby
1.6 will provide Windows-based Ruby users with the best experience
yet. This release integrates experimental support for C extensions
based on Ruby’s C API. And as with all major releases, we have
improved stability and performance across the board in response to
real-world user input.
We are going to seriously try and make this our last RC before going final.
Unless we find something devestatingly bad we will release 1.6.0 and then
try and spin smaller point builds every 2-3 weeks to address reported
problems.
Notable changes since 1.6.0.RC2:
- New readable backtrace format
- Easier to embed in OSGi environment
- Fixed regression which slowed down jar-based requires
- Add native JFFI bits for x86_64 SunOS (Solaris)
- More platforms with pre-built C extension support
- New jruby-core and jruby-stdlib maven artifacts
- More 1.9 compatibility fixes
Major Features:
-
Ruby 1.9.2 language and API compatibility
- Not implemented Encoding::Converter, ripper
- Improved Ruby call performance
- Built-in profiler (–profile, –profile.graph)
- RSpec no longer bundled
- C Extension support (experimental)
- RubyGems Maven support (preview)
- Improved compatibility and user experience on Windows
- jruby-complete.jar now includes 1.9 standard library
- Embedding API refinements
- Over 2000 commits and 265 issues resolved.
