JRuby 1.7.16.2 Released

Monday, December 08 2014

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.16.2

JRuby 1.7.16.2 is our eighteenth 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.

1.7.16.2 is a security fix release for CVE-2014-8090. All users are strongly recommended to upgrade. For more information, check out the excellent write up on www.ruby-lang.org.

For those wondering, JRuby 1.7.17 is going to be out tomorrow (barring any last minute showstoppers). This will include not only this security fix but almost 2 months of bug fixes.
