Tuesday, June 08 2021
The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 9.2.18.0
- Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
- Download: http://www.jruby.org/download
JRuby 9.2.x is compatible with Ruby 2.5.x and stays in sync with C Ruby. As always there is a mix of miscellaneous fixes so be sure to read the issue list below. All users are encouraged to upgrade.
As we are still actively working on 9.3.0.0 we decided to put out another 9.2.x release to fix some of the more recently reported issues.
Special thanks to our external contributors this release: @ahorek, @xaptronic
Compatibility
- Improved support for subprocess launching on pure-Java environments (primarily Windows). (#6654, #6655, #6678, #6685)
- Concurrency fixes for last match (
$~) under concurrent access. Still somewhat unpredictable but behavior matches CRuby. (#6640, #6644, #6647)
Standard Library
- The socket library from master (JRuby 9.3) has been backported with all recent fixes, improving compatibility and feature coverage. (#3883, #5148, #6126, #6128, #6156, #6274, #6366, #6372, #6384, #6389, #6399, #6400, #6541, #6542, #6595, #6664)
- Improved support for Open3 on Windows. #6291, (#6648, #6649)
Java Integration
- The bash script and native executable now detect Java module support more robustly. (#6637, #6638, #6639, #6689, #6701)
Native Integration
-
Improved native support for exotic Linux platforms (mips64el, ppc64, s390x, aarch64). #6674, #6675, #6705
-
