The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1.4!

Homepage: http://www....
Download: http://dist.codehaus....

JRuby 1.1.4 is the fourth point release of JRuby 1.1. The fixes in this
release are primarily obvious compatibility problems and performance
enhancements. Our goal is to put out point releases more frequently for
the next several months (about 3-4 weeks a release). We want a more
rapid release cycle to better address issues brought up by users of JRuby.

Highlights:

- Massive refactoring of Java integration layer
- 2-20x speed up of most features (calls, construction, arrays)
- Many long-standing Ruby/Java interaction bugs fixed
- Existing features made more consistent, reliable
- Closures can be passed as interface to static methods, constructors
- Java exceptions can be raised/rescued directly from Ruby
- Massive memory efficiency improvements (a lot less GC)
- Beginning of Ruby 1.9 support (enabled with --1.9 flag)
- Native complex/rational
- Additional efficiency, performance work in the interpreter
- Memory leak under --manage repaired
- FFI subsystem for calling C libraries
- syslog module from Rubinius is working and included
- win32 API support started
- Thread pooling improved (at least one production user now)
- Array concurrent-access improvements
- 72 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1.3

+1. The work you guys are doing is, IMHO, the real key to Ruby's acceptance
in the Corporate IT domain. That's important, at least to me, because it's
what'll drive real growth in paychecks_for_writing_Ruby!

Thanks,
Bill

Lammy is a classic usenet zoo monkey. Liars, once they have been
exposed, frequently revert to behavior most similar to a zoo monkey
who sits in the cage throwing feces at passersby but saying nothing of
value. Note that when you reply to a Proven Liar you encourage them
to continue lying.

I think that the OP wants something military, such as massive arms shipments to Ukraine, and/or NATO forces on the ground in Ukraine.

To counteract President Putin's "We must protect all Russians" propaganda, I urge that all Russian-Ukrainians publicly proclaim "We don't want or need Mr. Putin's protection!". I envision millions of Russian-Ukrainians posting the above slogan on their Facebook pages! I envision Russian-Ukrainians appearing on TV to repudiate Putin! I envision Ukraine broadcasting recordings of such repudiations into Russia! I envision teams of crack hackers disabling Russia's censorship system to get anti-Putin information into the Russian media and social media. I envision Radio Free Russia, TV Free Russia, and Internet Free Russia broadcasting into Russia with help from high altitude blimps and satellites.

And how has that affected Putin? It seems to me those applying these
'sanctions' are doing it for the home audience and will have little
effect on Putin. It could have some negative results on the Russian
people, but Putin, as with all other Russian/Soviet leaders won't lose
any sleep over that. He's already raised the price of NG to the
Ukraine, and Europe could be next.

The former may happen, but the latter? Not bloody likely. When was
the last time Russia or the Soviets were punished for one of their
invasions? Finland, all three Baltic countries, Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, Georgia? Nothing was done then and won't happen now.
