JRuby 1.1.4 is the fourth point release of JRuby 1.1.  The fixes in this
release are primarily obvious compatibility problems and performance
enhancements.  Our goal is to put out point releases more frequently for
the next several months (about 3-4 weeks a release).  We want a more
rapid release cycle to better address issues brought up by users of JRuby.

Highlights:

- Massive refactoring of Java integration layer
  - 2-20x speed up of most features (calls, construction, arrays)
  - Many long-standing Ruby/Java interaction bugs fixed
  - Existing features made more consistent, reliable
  - Closures can be passed as interface to static methods, constructors
  - Java exceptions can be raised/rescued directly from Ruby
  - Massive memory efficiency improvements (a lot less GC)
- Beginning of Ruby 1.9 support (enabled with --1.9 flag)
  - Native complex/rational
- Additional efficiency, performance work in the interpreter
- Memory leak under --manage repaired
- FFI subsystem for calling C libraries
  - syslog module from Rubinius is working and included
  - win32 API support started
- Thread pooling improved (at least one production user now)
- Array concurrent-access improvements
- 72 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1.3

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1!

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/

JRuby 1.1 is the second major release for our project.  The main goal for 1.1
has been improving performance.  We have made great strides in performance
during the last nine months.  There have been more and more reports of
applications exceeding Ruby 1.8.6 performance; we are even beating Ruby 1.9
in some microbenchmarks.  Please try your applications against JRuby 1.1 and
give us feedback.  If you find poor performance or a compatibility problem,
then we want to know about it; message us on IRC, email our mailing list, or
file a bug.

Other major features include:

- Compilation of Ruby to Java Bytecode (in AOT and JIT modes)
- Oniguruma port to Java
- Refactored IO implementation
- Improved memory consumption
- Thousands of compatibility fixes

As always, the community has been the driving force behind JRuby's progress.
Thousands of reported issues and unending IRC conversations has helped keep
JRuby focused on doing what is most important: Making Ruby applications work
well.  We want to thank all people who have helped and encouraged others to
give JRuby a try.  It is ready for production use today.
