JRuby 1.4.0 Released — JRuby.org (original) (raw)

Monday, November 02 2009

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.4.0

After three very helpful release candidates we have a final 1.4.0 release. This release ends a long release cycle in which we resolved a huge number of issues. The headline feature is a move to Ruby 1.8.7 support, in line with Rails’ own plans to make 1.8.7 the required minimum version of Ruby.

We have also gotten more serious about out 1.9 support (–1.9). The bigger applications mostly just work at this point, but we still have a ways to go on 1.9 support. Please try your 1.9 code in JRuby and help us firm things up.

1.4.0 Highlights:

We want to thank all the users who have been helping us to get a better release out. Special thanks to Hiro Asari, David Calavera, and Roger Pack for their recent activity in the project. We also want to welcome Yoko Harada as a committer to the project. Her work and support of our embedding efforts has been great.
