Thank you to our contributors this release, you help keep JRuby moving forward! @evaniainbrooks, @ahorek, @kares, @most00, @ntkme, @sk757a
Ruby Compatibility
- Support for the new Prism parser for Ruby code has been merged in. A blog post will follow soon. #8103
- IO#fcntl had inverted logic for setting O_NONBLOCK (setting it cleared the value, etc). [#8081], [#8090]
- Many fixes to language and core class compatibility, see issue list.
- Warnings should match verbosity levels of CRuby, with many unwanted warnings now properly omitted without verbose enabled. #7183, #8071
Standard Library
- json is updated to 2.7.1. #7752, #7954
- io-console is updated to 0.7.2. This version fixes IRB on Apple M-series by using stty for console manipulation. #8012
- nkf is now supported by gem version 0.2.0. #8077
- strscan is updated to 3.1.0. #8074, [#8086]
- reline is updated to 0.4.2 #8102
- jruby-openssl is updated to 0.14.3 #8107
JVM Integration
- Ruby Symbols can be use as arguments to JVM methods that receive Java String. #8015, #8057
- Starting with Java 17, package-private methods will no longer be bound automatically even if they can be made visible. #8061, #8093
Native Integration
- The subsystem used for native calls has been updated to support RHEL/CentOS 7 and the Java 9+ Cleaner API. [#8104]
Performance
- Performance of keyword argument handling has been improved. #8021
- Pattern matching is now supported in JRuby’s JIT compiler. #8026, #8027
