[ANN] JRuby 1.4.0 Released

[Thomas E Enebo]

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.4.0

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download

After three very helpful release candidates we have a final 1.4.0 release.
This release ends a long release cycle in which we resolved a huge number of
issues. The headline feature is a move to Ruby 1.8.7 support, in line with
Rails' own plans to make 1.8.7 the required minimum version of Ruby.

  We have also gotten more serious about out 1.9 support (--1.9).  The
bigger applications mostly just work at this point, but we still have a
ways to go on 1.9 support.  Please try your 1.9 code in JRuby and help us
firm things up.

1.4.0 Highlights:
- JRuby is now compatible with 1.8.7 patchlevel 174
- Windows Native Launcher
  - Solves many reported bugs with our old .bat scripts
- New YAML parser Yecht (bug-for-bug compatible with Syck!)
- Improved Java Integration Support
    - faster
    - new java_method, java_send, and java_alias methods
- Windows installer
- New embedding framework
    - Java 6 scripting out of the box
    - New org.jruby.embed package to supersede JavaEmbedUtils
- Many 1.9 mode (--1.9) fixes
    - updated stdlib to 1.9.2preview2
    - Rubygems now working
    - Rails 2.3.3 simple apps working (2.3.4 has 1.9 bug)
- rubygems 1.3.5
- Much better error reporting
    - shorter backtraces with less Java
    - Ruby-compatiable syntax error reporting
- 307 bugs fixed since 1.3.1

We want to thank all the users who have been helping us to get a better
release out.  Special thanks to Hiro Asari, David Calavera, and
Roger Pack for their recent activity in the project.  We also want to
welcome Yoko Harada as a committer to the project.  Her work and
support of our embedding efforts has been great.

Hi list

Is there a recommended way to deal with gem migration to the new
release?  I've been using jruby 1.3.0 and have a few gems installed.  I
copied the gem cache over but can't seem to build from it.

Thanks

Steve.
