JRuby 1.6.8 Released
Tuesday, September 18 2012
The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.6.8.
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download/2012/09/18/jruby-1-6-8
The primary goal of the 1.6.x series is to round out our 1.9 support
by fixing any reported incompatibilities. Of course, as with any JRuby
release, we will continue fixing any found incompatibilities and also
improve performance. All users of 1.6.7.2 (and lower) are encouraged
to upgrade to 1.6.8.
This release is a somewhat special release in that JRuby community
members were primarily responsible for performing the backporting of
fixes. These fixes represented what current users of JRuby 1.6.x
wanted in a JRuby 1.6.8. Special thanks to merge-master David K.
for putting so much effort into make JRuby 1.6.8 a reality.
Notable Changes:
- Updated to RubyGems 1.8.24
- Fixed a resource leak in LoadService
- No more accidental GC of runtime state in unusual situations
- Various 1.9 compability fixes
