Forum: JRuby [ANN] Ruboto 0.10.1 released!

The Ruboto team is proud to announce the release of Ruboto 0.10.1.

Ruboto (JRuby on Android) is a platform for developing full stand-alone 
apps for
Android using the Ruby language and libraries.  It includes support 
libraries
and generators for creating projects, classes, tests, and more.  The 
complete
APIs of Android, Java, and Ruby are available to you using the Ruby 
language.

New in version 0.10.1:

This release updates JRuby to version 1.7.1 and updates the RubotoCore 
platform apk significantly.  The location of the Ruby Standard Library 
inside the RubotoCore platform apk has been moved to /jruby.home due to 
new restrictions set by Google Play Store.  Also the manual download 
site for the RubotoCore platform apk has moved due to GitHub shutting 
down their download area.
