The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1 RC 3 Homepage: [http://www.jruby.org/](http://www.jruby.org/) Download: [http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/](http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/) JRuby 1.1RC3 is the third and final(?) release candidate of JRuby 1.1. JRuby 1.1 represents a concerted focus on speed and refinement. Ruby code can completely compile in an Ahead Of Time (AOT) or Just In Time (JIT) mode; yielding a faster Ruby! It also uses less memory than our previous releases. We need people to download JRuby 1.1RC3 and give us feedback. Only uncovered severe issues (common library crashing, memory leak) will hold us from promoting this as JRuby 1.1 final. Please try your applications out and report all issues you encounter. Highlights: - 58 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1RC2 - ri/rdoc w/ documentation included in distribution - More IO corner cases fixed (popen, reopen) - Several small bottlenecks fixed We want to thank all the people who gave us feedback this last release cycle.
