From: Thomas Enebo Date: 2008-01-09T03:39:13+09:00 Subject: [ANN] JRuby 1.1 RC 1 Released The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1 RC 1 Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/ Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/ JRuby 1.1RC1 is the first 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 1.1RC1 and give us feedback. Test your applications and help us make JRuby 1.1 a great release. Highlights: - 143 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1b1 - Landing of Java port of Oniguruma (Joni) - Most Posix methods supported (e.g. stat, kill, getuid) - Latest Rubygems 1.0.1, RSpec 1.1.1, and Rake 0.8.1 gems - Updated standard library to be Ruby 1.8.6 compatible A huge round of thanks goes to Marcin Mielzynski for porting Oniguruma. Porting Oniguruma to Java (resulting in a sub-project called Joni) was a tremendous amount of work and it turned out great. We also want to acknowledge Vladimir Sizikov for the large number of Rubyspecs failure fixes during this development cycle. He has been tenacious in getting patches to us on a daily basis.
