release, we will continue fixing any found incompatibilities and also
improve performance. All users of 1.6.2 (and lower) are encouraged to
upgrade to 1.6.3.
Notable Changes:
- 1.9 language and core class fixes
- Ruby object construction performance boost
- Require performance improvements
- Windows native exec fixes
