The JRuby trio have just released version 0.9.2 of everyone’s** favourite scripting language for the JVM.

New and notable in this release:

  • Extensions openssl and readline now working
  • Code for a new graphical irb console
  • Partial support for iconv and bigdecimal extensions
  • RSpec now supported
  • Improved Rails support
  • Fixed all known block and scoping bugs
  • Enhanced parser performance
  • More compiler and performance work
  • Refactored variable scoping logic
  • 127 Jira issues resolved since 0.9.1

My modest contribution to this release included:

  • Getting RSpec supported
  • Implementing the Enumerable::Enumerator class and associated Kernel methods
  • Fixing the Java::clazz.naming.Binding syntax implementation to properly work
  • Fixes for visibility issues with some Kernel methods

So go and download it now! What are you waiting for?

** Favourite to all but those nice Groovy folk, oh and those BSH and Javascript/Rhino wierdos
