The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.0.0RC3. Homepage: [http://www.jruby.org/](http://www.jruby.org/) Download: [http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/](http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/) This will likely be our final release candidate before our 1.0 release. People are encouraged to try out this release to help us find any remaining show stopper issues. We have spent a lot of time over the last month squashing compatibility bugs and we have confidence that applications ‘will just work’ ™\*. Please try your applications and libraries against JRuby and give us feedback. In the last month we have had a record number of people come in and provide a patch or report a bug. Interest in JRuby has exploded since JavaOne and RailsConf, and many development groups are now testing and deploying JRuby and JRuby on Rails apps in production. This has really helped accelerate our progress and JRuby is looking much better because of it. A few honorable mentions go out to: Koichiro Ohba, Daniel B., David Montag, Dr Nic Williams, and Jon Tirsen. We also want to thank all the people who hang out on IRC, triage/report/patch issues, and communicate on our mailing lists. Their interest has really helped shape JRuby into a better implementation. As we approach our 1.0 release, we encourage Ruby (and JRuby) community members to contribute to a few projects key to the success of alternative implementations: - The RubySpec Wiki ([www.headius.com/rubyspec](http://www.headius.com/rubyspec)) has slowly been growing into a free, community-driven specification of Ruby. Many people have contributed articles, and several of those directly aided JRuby development. The more people contribute to the wiki–in any way–the more it will begin to form a complete specification for Ruby the language and Ruby the platform. Have you written RubySpec today? - Both the Rubinius and JRuby projects have been building out their testing suites, to the point that JRuby now runs more regression/compatibility tests than any other Ruby implementation and Rubinius has the largest collection of RSpec specifications for Ruby. We two projects have been coordinating and cooperating on these testing/spec suites, but they need your help! Check out the JRuby or Rubinius source code and dig into the tests… you’ll be helping both projects and the community at large. For more test suites, check out the RubyTests project on RubyForge, where it is hoped that all test suites will eventually reside, and the ruby\_test project under the Shards project on RubyForge. JRuby’s tests are at [http://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby](http://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby) in the test dir. Rubinius’s specs are at [http://code.fallingsnow.net/svn/rubinius/trunk](http://code.fallingsnow.net/svn/rubinius/trunk) in the spec dir. RubyTests is at [http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubytests](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubytests) RubySpec is at [http://www.headius.com/rubyspec](http://www.headius.com/rubyspec) - - The trademark is a joke -Tom
