Created attachment 163705 [details] 1.7.22 to 1.7.23 diff diff against 1.7.22 (previous) version http://jruby.org/2015/11/24/jruby-1-7-23 Relevant release notes * Various jar and/or classpath fixes with filesystem-related methods * 31 issues fixed for 1.7.23
Sorry for the long delay, looks like jruby was updated in the mean time. I've gone ahead and updated to the latest and greatest, 9.1.6.0, in r427982. Hopefully this makes up for the delay on this PR in some way. :)
Whilst the update to jruby 9K is appreciated, one should note the major architectural changes between 1.7.x and 9K. jruby.org explicitly maintains to distributions, perhaps maybe not for too long, however, for anybody running prod code they may definitely want to stay on the 1.7.x codebase and take the incremental changes before jumping across to 9K because it uses a lot more native code and potentially introduces regressions that need to be tested out on an individual basis over a period. I recommend, if possible, make a 1.7 and 9K separate port if you are keen to bringing 9K to ports.
(In reply to Andrew Smith from comment #2) According to the JRuby folks I talked to 1.7.x is End of Life at the end of the year, so I thought the quarterly branch should cover the need for 1.7.x until then and there wouldn't be a need for separate 1.7.x and 9.x ports. Sound OK?
EOL at the end of the year? There's nothing to that effect in the News feed on the JRuby site and folks might have to spend months on regression testing for large projects, particularly if they are embedded. I suspect that even when 1.7.x does go EOL it may well end up being like node 0.10 for a long time.
