The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.3.0RC1 Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/ Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
JRuby 1.3.0RC1 is a release to fix some issues which prevented JRuby from working with Google App Engine (GAE/J). We decided to put out a shorter release so that users interested in GAE/J could get going without needing to build JRuby from scratch. ****Please try your apps against 1.3.0RC1 ASAP and report problems**** Highlights: - Fixes so that JRuby runs in restricted environments better like GAE/J - Accessing primitive Java arrays are about 10x faster - timeout.rb is now ~40% faster - irb works in --1.9 mode now - Additional Miscellaneous 1.9 fixes - rubygems 1.3.2 and rspec 1.2.6 upgrades - 22 bugs fixed since 1.2.0 Key Summary JRUBY-3566 bug in multiplication JRUBY-1401 Pathname#realpath fails for Windows drive letters JRUBY-3490 Object#instance_exec only works with blocks of 3 parameters or less?!
