That 'someone' is me, so I'm pretty aware of that release and its
limitations :-)

That release was done as proof of concept, but should not be used as
production environment since lot of tests didn't complete.

I'm working on it but JRuby parser is still giving me some issues.
Once that is ironed, expect an official release with 1.9 support.
