The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.9

JRuby 1.7.9 is our ninth update release since JRuby 1.7.0. The primary goal of 1.7 point releases is to fill out any missing compatibility issues with Ruby 1.9.3. The community participation lately has been great. Keep reporting issues and sending pull requests.

Changes of note:

36 issues fixed

Windows File.size fixed

Windows now will properly display to console windows codepage

Fixed regression which broke Compass (or anything which depended on FSSM)

A few more encoding issues fixed

Lots of Enumerable method improvements

We would like to single out Daniel Marcotte with a special shout-out this release. Daniel recently has been digging into our block dispatch code (especially in regards to Enumerable) which is far from a trivial part of our codebase and we are loving it.
