JRuby 1.7.16.1 Released

Tuesday, October 28 2014

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.16.1

JRuby 1.7.16.1 is our seventeenth 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.

1.7.16.1 is a security fix release for CVE-2014-8080. All users are strongly recommended to upgrade. For more information, check out the excellent write up on www.ruby-lang.org.

There is one other small change in this release to strip out extra unused files from jruby-complete.jar. jruby-complete.jar is back down to a normal size again.
