With the <a href="http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JRUBY/2007/03/05/JRuby+0.9.8+Released">release of JRuby 0.9.8</a>, the countdown begins. The reason we jumped from 0.9.2 up to 0.9.8 are several:</p> <ul> <li>Now there are only <a href="http://headius.com/jrubywiki/index.php/Roadmap_%28January_2007_-_June_2007%29">two more releases to 1.0</a>, with 1.0 landing in May.</li> <li>This release fixes more issues, has more changesets, improves performance, etc. etc. etc., more than all the other 0.9.x releases combined.</li> <li><a href="http://www.headius.com/jrubywiki/index.php/Rails_Support">Rails support</a> is something to feel good about, more than a single point release for sure</li> </ul> <p>Stay tuned for details on the new release in the coming days. Be sure to <a href="http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/jruby-bin-0.9.8.tar.gz">download JRuby 0.9.8 today</a> (<a href="http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/jruby-src-0.9.8.tar.gz">source</a>) and <a href="http://xircles.codehaus.org/projects/jruby/lists">let us know</a> how it goes!</p>
