JRuby 9000 is the newest major version of JRuby, representing years of effort and large-scale reboots of several JRuby subsystems. It is expected to be compatible with Ruby 2.x and stay in sync with C Ruby. JRuby 9.1.8.0 is our latest release…
Major features of JRuby 9000:
- Ruby 2.x compatibility
- A new optimizing runtime based on a traditional compiler design
- New POSIX-friendly IO and Process
- Fully ported encoding/transcoding logic from MRI
If you do find issues then report them on using our issue tracker at https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues. We also encourage users to join our IRC channel (#jruby on Freenode) and mailing lists. You may also follow @jruby on Twitter for updates.
- Fixed intermittent DynamicScope size errors
- Concurrency fixes to jitting of blocks (mostly seen as previous bullet).
- Several issues fixed when running with -Xcompile.invokedynamic
