The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1 RC 2
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
JRuby 1.1RC2 is the second 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 1.1RC2 and give us feedback. Test your
applications and help us make JRuby 1.1 a great release.
Highlights:
- 260 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1RC1
- Large IO refactoring
- Memory improvements for JIT'd methods:
- Control total number of methods JIT'd
- Support a JIT cache between runtimes to return permgen
- Reduce codesize of generated methods (50-70% reduction)
Vladimir Sizikov has been added as a core committer. His amazing work
on fixing rubyspec failures has made him a welcome addition to the team.
We want to thank all the people who gave us feedback this last release cycle.
We ended up resolving a tremendous number of issues in a short period of time.

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.

Our release of JRuby1.1b1 had a problem in the source distribution files which made them mostly useless. We just fixed that problem and put up fresh versions of those files. All should be as it should have been (tm).
Note: The binary distribution files are fine. This is ONLY for the *src* versions of these files.
The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1 beta 1
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
JRuby 1.1b1 is the first release towards our goal 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 uses less memory than our previous releases.
This is also our most compatible 1.8 release yet.
We need people to download JRuby 1.1b1 and give us feedback. Test your
applications and help us make JRuby 1.1 a great release.

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.0!
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
JRuby 1.0 is a major milestone for our project. Our main goal for 1.0 has been Ruby compatibility. We feel this goal has been reached. When we see companies like ThoughtWorks offering commercial JRuby support; we know this goal has been reached. Please download JRuby and take it for a test drive. Try running your Ruby and Ruby on Rails applications with it. Give us feedback. Join our community. Help us continue to improve JRuby.
We cannot say this enough... Our community is what really makes working on JRuby a treat. Whether it is a decent discussion on IRC or a nice reduced test case attached to one of our bugs, we really appreciate all the time people are spending on JRuby. We all get along well and I think the progress really shows. Just think, a little over a year ago we just starting to see simple Rails controllers route! It is amazing how far we have come.
The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.0.0RC3.
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
This will likely be our final release candidate before our 1.0 release. People are
encouraged to try out this release to help us find any remaining showstopper issues. We
have spent a lot of time over the last month squashing compatibility bugs and we have
confidence that applications 'will just work' (tm)*. Please try your applications and
libraries against JRuby and give us feedback.
In the last month we have had a record number of people come in and provide a patch or
report a bug. Interest in JRuby has exploded since JavaOne and RailsConf, and many
development groups are now testing and deploying JRuby and JRuby on Rails apps in
production. This has really helped accelerate our progress and JRuby is looking much
better because of it. A few honorable mentions go out to: Koichiro Ohba, Daniel Berger,
David Montag, Dr Nic Williams, and Jon Tirsen.
We also want to thank all the people who hang out on IRC, triage/report/patch issues, and
communicate on our mailing lists. Their interest has really helped shape JRuby into a
better implementation.
As we approach our 1.0 release, we encourage Ruby (and JRuby) community members to
contribute to a few projects key to the success of alternative implementations:
- The RubySpec Wiki (www.headius.com/rubyspec) has slowly been growing into a free,
community-driven specification of Ruby. Many people have contributed articles, and several
of those directly aided JRuby development. The more people contribute to the wiki--in any
way--the more it will begin to form a complete specification for Ruby the language and
Ruby the platform. Have you written RubySpec today?
- Both the Rubinius and JRuby projects have been building out their testing suites, to the
point that JRuby now runs more regression/compatibility tests than any other Ruby
implementation and Rubinius has the largest collection of RSpec specifications for Ruby.
We two projects have been coordinating and cooperating on these testing/spec suites, but
they need your help! Check out the JRuby or Rubinius source code and dig into the tests...
you'll be helping both projects and the community at large. For more test suites, check
out the RubyTests project on RubyForge, where it is hoped that all test suites will
eventually reside, and the ruby_test project under the Shards project on RubyForge.
JRuby's tests are at http://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby in the test dir.
Rubinius's specs are at http://code.fallingsnow.net/svn/rubinius/trunk in the spec dir.
RubyTests is at http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubytests
RubySpec is at http://www.headius.com/rubyspec

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 0.9.9.
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
This release has largely been a stabilization release where we have spent
more focus on Ruby compatibility. We are gearing up for a 1.0 release. Here
are some of the more significant acheivements for 0.9.9:
- Major compatibility and performance overhaul of String, Array, Hash
- Many YAML and Marshalling issues have been fixed
- Java Integration overhaul fixing many outstanding issues
- 180 Jira issues resolved
- Several more bottlenecks removed
- Rails applications like Mephisto and plugins like Goldberg are running without hitches
- Performance has improved by 40% over 0.9.8 based on YARV benchmarks
With all the hard work done by Marcin Mielżyński and Bill Dortch we are adding
them as core committers. Their contributions have made a huge difference in
our progress as of late.
We also want to thank all people who hang out on IRC, triage/report/patch
issues, and communicate on our mailing lists. Their interest has really
helped shape JRuby into a better implementation.
Please take JRuby 0.9.9 for a spin and help us root out the last issues
before our 1.0 release!
The JRuby team is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 0.9.8.
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
This release has some great improvements:
- Ruby on Rails support. We have been working hard on getting Rails own unit
tests running and over 98% of them now run successfully. We feel things are
running well enough to invite Ruby users to kick the tires and help root out
any final issues. - Ruby classes can extend concrete/abstract Java classes and override methods
- New Java primitive array syntax
- Reimplementation of String, Numeric classes, and Array to be more correct
and performant - Significant bottlenecks have been identified. In some cases IO is 6.5x
faster than previous releases. Java included classes are significantly
faster than in the past. - 225 Jira issues resolved since last release
At the beginning of this development cycle we added Nick Sieger as a committer
to JRuby. Nick has been a welcome addition to the team.
Special thanks to Marcin Mielżyński for his tireless work in rewriting a
number of core classes to be much more correct and quick. His attention to
detail has rooted out many corner cases.
The amount of IRC conversations, mailing list threads, bug reports, patches,
and blog entries in the community has been a great help and our community is
really making a huge difference in how fast JRuby is improving. The amount
of progress is really staggering....

JRuby just keeps getting better and better.
Two wikis have been launched to support Rubyists and JRubyists worldwide.
The first is the RubySpec Wiki, to serve as a community-evolved specification of the Ruby language, libraries, runtime, and implementations. Everything from String methods to marshaling specifications can go here, to form a central repository for information on how Ruby really works.
The second is the JRuby Wiki, maintained for and by the JRuby community. Getting Started, HOWTOs, FAQs, and other documentation on JRuby will be available here, and anyone can contribute.
The Wiki phenomenon has helped transform the internet, and now it can help Rubyists and JRubyists alike get and share the information they all need. Contribute an article or edit today!
Charles Oliver Nutter and Thomas Enebo, the two core JRuby developers, will become employees at Sun Microsystems this month. Their charge will be to work full-time on JRuby, rounding out performance and compatibility goals and making Ruby on the JVM as fast and clean as possible.
Check out the blogosphere for more posts about this exciting turn of events. This can only be good for Ruby, JRuby, and dynamic languages on the JVM. We're very excited about this new future!
