JRuby 0.9.1 released
We in the JRuby team are proud to announce the release of JRuby 0.9.1.
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/.
This release contains numerous new features, fixes and improvements:
- Overall performance is 50-60% faster than JRuby 0.9.0
- Improved Rails support
- New syntax for including Java classes into Ruby
- New interpreter design
- Refactoring of method dispatch, code evaluation, and block dispatch code
- Parser performance enhancement
- Rewriting of Enumerable, StringScanner and StringIO in Java
- New experimental syntax for implementing interfaces
- 86 Jira issues resolved since 0.9.0
This past months have been great for JRuby, and I know that it will get even better from now on. My personal goal for 0.9.2 is to have complete Java YAML support in, and a working OpenSSL library. Obviously, all bugs should be fixed too… =)
