      <title>JRuby 0.9.2 out - get it while it's hot!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The JRuby trio have just released version 0.9.2 of everyone&amp;#8217;s** favourite scripting language for the JVM.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;New and notable in this release:&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;My modest contribution to this release included:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Getting RSpec supported&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Implementing the Enumerable::Enumerator class and associated Kernel methods&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixing the Java::clazz.naming.Binding syntax implementation to properly work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixes for visibility issues with some Kernel methods&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So go and download it now! What are you waiting for?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;** Favourite to all but those nice Groovy folk, oh and those BSH and Javascript/Rhino wierdos&lt;/p&gt;</description>
