The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1.2! Homepage: [http://www.jruby.org/](http://www.jruby.org/) Download: [http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/](http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/) JRuby 1.1.2 is the second point release of JRuby 1.1. The fixes in this release are primarily obvious compatibility problems and performance enhancements. Our goal is to put out point releases more frequently for the next several months (about 3-4 weeks a release). We want a more rapid release cycle to better address issues brought up by users of JRuby. Highlights: - Startup time drastically reduced - YAML symbol parsing \>100x faster - Performance, threading, and stack depth improvements for method calls - Fixed several nested backref problems - Fixed bad data race (JRUBY-2483) - Gazillions of bigdecimal issues fixed (all?) - 95 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1.1 JRUBY-672 java.lang.Class representation of Ruby class not retrievable JRUBY-1051 Rubinius bignum\_spec failures JRUBY-1163 Doesn’t allow ‘included’ to be protected JRUBY-1190 Cannot call protected constructors from an abstract base class JRUBY-1332 It should be possible to add a jar to the load path and have it act like a regular directory JRUBY-1338 Concurrent file uploads in Rails cause OOM errors with JRuby+Goldspike+Glassfish JRUBY-1386 instance\_eval is a nightmarish can of worms; it needs to be completely refactored JRUBY-1387 define\_method methods are pushing two frames onto the stack, among other inefficiencies JRUBY-1390 Calling super without args does not (always) pass original args JRUBY-1395 while loops and other protected constructs may require synthetic methods in the compiler JRUBY-1463 Java deserialization through java-integration is broken in JRuby JRUBY-1574 Extract into jruby.home from jar: url JRUBY-1582 Allow heap and stack to be set via environment variables JRUBY-1688 Problems with multiple arguments to Kernel#exec/system and Rake’s FileUtils#sh JRUBY-1725 Gem installs a bad shebang on application scripts (like rails) JRUBY-1749 JRuby fails test/externals/bfts/test\_time.rb on Japanese environment JRUBY-1753 while cases disabled with precompiled tests now runninng; known lackings in the compiler JRUBY-1767 JRuby needs a fast JSON library JRUBY-2041 Calling the attached method after 6 times returns nil JRUBY-2086 class cast exception randomly appears JRUBY-2230 Compiler emits exception-handling sections of code that can be reached through non-exceptional paths.
