Is there any difference codebase wise between RC3 and the official 1.1
release?
I've been really happy with all the 1.1 releases, we have ruby code
running in production at work that runs significantly better with
JRuby vs. MRI.
It's also really satisfying to tell our Ops people that all we need
new servers bootstrapped with is the JDK for deploying code. We can
just drop our JRuby tarball with gems already installed and be up and
running quickly on production servers.
Thanks for all the hard work on this release!
