JRuby 1.0.1 released along with plan for 1.1

by Robert Dempsey on August 25, 2007

The JRuby team released version 1.0.1 yesterday along with the plan for version 1.1, which is to be released before RubyConf in early November.

The 1.0.1 maintenance release:

  • Resolves 28 issues
  • Fixes multipart processing
  • Fixes sockets that affected some of the net/* libraries
  • Fixes network timeouts when using large packets

Per a message from Charles Nutter, the 1.1 plan includes:

  • Compiler complete
  • AOT compilation working with jrubyc
  • stdlib all precompiled
  • gem install precompilation
  • virtual filesystem-inside-JVM (maybe) or hacked rubygems that can run out of an archive
  • performance improvement to be quantified…java integration, execution, memory reduction
  • yarv bytecode execution and compilation (maybe)
  • AST sharing as an option (sharing across runtimes)…need to explore AOT compilation and its (positive?) effect on memory too
  • real threading brutalization, testably multithread-safe core classes (maybe, needs heavy testing on many-core systems)
  • Java API rubification, perhaps with require ‘javax.swing’ and so on

Grab the release and start deploying Rails apps in your Java environment.
