JRuby 1.7.6 is our sixth 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 was a quick followup release to 1.7.5. Our main priority is
working on our next major version of JRuby, but we want to maintain a
partial focus on continuing to fix bugs for JRuby 1.7.x. A faster
release
cycle for JRuby 1.7.x will help motivate us to keep fixing bugs on our
maintenance branch. Expect a new release about every 3 weeks…
Changes of note:
- 14 issues fixed for 1.7.6
- Restored some missing .bat files for Windows
- Fibers no longer throwing uncatchable errors
- Removal of already initialized warnings from OpenSSL
