Subject: Re: native threads in ruby

We've done the best job we can making JRuby compatible with Ruby  
1.8.6, and hopefully others can attest to that. The only major feature  
missing is Continuations, which are a little sketchy with native  
threads anyway.

As for 1.9 features, we already have some. For example, we have a port  
of the regexp engine 1.9 uses, and a native-thread-backed  
implementation of Fibers. We probably won't include more before the  
JRuby 1.1 release later this month, but we'll add as many as possible  
after that, including all of 1.9's specific optimizations and support  
for abitrarily-encoded strings.
