JRuby 1.1.1 is the first 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:

• interpreter method dispatch speedup
• reduced memory consumption (permgen)
• fixed nasty concurrency bottleneck
• stat()/lstat() 300% faster
• improved startup time
• improved bigdecimal support
• 42 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1

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.

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1 RC 3

Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/

JRuby 1.1RC3 is the third and final release candidate of JRuby 1.1.  
JRuby 1.1 represents a concerted focus on speed and refinement.  Ruby code
can completely compile in an Ahead Of Time (AOT) or Just In Time (JIT) mode;
yielding a faster Ruby!  It also uses less memory than our previous releases.

We need people to download JRuby 1.1RC3 and give us feedback. Only uncovered
severe issues (common library crashing, memory leak) will hold us from
promoting this as JRuby 1.1 final.  Please try your applications out and report
all issues you encounter.

Highlights:
- 58 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1RC2
- ri/rdoc w/ documentation included in distribution
- More IO corner cases fixed (popen, reopen)
- Several small bottlenecks fixed

We want to thank all the people who gave us feedback this last release cycle.

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1 RC 1

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/

JRuby 1.1RC1 is the first release candidate of JRuby 1.1.  JRuby 1.1
represents a concerted focus on speed and refinement.  Ruby code can
completely compile in an Ahead Of Time (AOT) or Just In Time (JIT) mode;
yielding a faster Ruby!  It also uses less memory than our previous releases.

We need people to download JRuby 1.1RC1 and give us feedback.  Test your
applications and help us make JRuby 1.1 a great release.

Highlights:
- 143 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1b1
- Landing of Java port of Oniguruma (Joni)
- Most Posix methods supported (e.g. stat, kill, getuid)
- Latest Rubygems 1.0.1, RSpec 1.1.1, and Rake 0.8.1 gems
- Updated standard library to be Ruby 1.8.6 compatible

A huge round of thanks goes to Marcin Mielzynski for porting Oniguruma. 
Porting Oniguruma to Java (resulting in a sub-project called Joni)  was a
tremendous amount of work and it turned out great.  We also want to
acknowledge Vladimir Sizikov for the large number of Rubyspecs failure fixes
during this development cycle.  He has been tenacious in getting patches to
us on a daily basis.
