The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.3.0 Homepage: [http://www.jruby.org/](http://www.jruby.org/) Download: [http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/](http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/) 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: - Fixes so that JRuby runs in restricted environments better like GAE/J - Accessing primitive Java arrays are about 10x faster - timeout.rb is now ~40% faster - Method cache performance improvements - irb works in --1.9 mode now - Additional Miscellaneous 1.9 fixes - rubygems 1.3.3, rake 0.8.7, and rspec 1.2.6 upgrades - 66 bugs fixed since 1.2.0 JRUBY-3729 JRuby’s internal change killed JSR 223 JRuby engine’s global variable sharing JRUBY-3726 Cannot access named capture in match data JRUBY-3723 1.3RC3 regression - Gem activate error JRUBY-3714 ActiveMessaging poller stops silently with JRuby 1.3.0RC1 and RC2.
