JRuby 1.7.5 Released
Monday, October 07 2013
The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.5

JRuby 1.7.5 is our fifth update release since JRuby 1.7.0. The primary
goal
of 1.7 point releases is to fill out any missing compatibility issues
with
Ruby 1.9.3. The community participation lately has been great. Keep
reporting issues and sending pull requests.
This release is a special point release in that it is the last point
release before we move JRuby 1.7.x onto a maintenance branch. At this
point
we will put out more releases of 1.7.x based on bug reports, but a bulk
of
our effort will change to work on the next major version: JRuby 9000.
We fixed a number of issues with JRuby’s support for invokedynamic, but
due
to increased memory requirements and some lingering issues we have opted
to
leave it disabled until Java 8 (due in March). Users willing to bump up
memory use (PermGen, specifically) can still enable invokedynamic via
-Xcompile.invokedynamic=true. We also encourage users to try their apps
on
early access builds of Java 8.
This summer, the JRuby team and our community members mentored ten
students
on a wide range of projects as part of Google’s Summer of Code 2013… We
would like to thank Asakawa Ryu, Benoit D., Chamila Wijayarathna,
Devwrat More, Eric West, Faraaz Ismail, Kumar Sukhani, Maximilian
Konzack,
Matthew Getch, and Tobias P. for participating and congratulate
them
on their excellent work.
From this point forward, all users should report issues on our
GitHub - jruby/jruby: JRuby, an implementation of Ruby on the JVM project site. You can also just go to
http://bugs.jruby.org/.
