JRuby 9.4.10.0 Released

Posted on January 22, 2025 by Michael G

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 9.4.10.0.

  • Homepage: https://www.jruby.org/
  • Download: https://www.jruby.org/download

JRuby 9.4.x targets Ruby 3.1 compatibility.

Thank you to our contributors this release, you help keep JRuby moving forward!

  • Dani Smith @danini-the-panini
  • Karol Bucek @kares
  • mrnoname1000 @mrnoname1000

Ruby Compatibility

  • Fixed a NegativeArraySizeException crash parsing heredocs. #8355, #8557
  • Users can now opt into Ruby 3.3 behavior for NoMethodError and NameError that no longer inspects the target object. This inspect frequently led to memory issues. Specify JRuby flag -XnameError.inspect.object=false or JVM property jruby.nameError.inspect.object=false to disable the inspect call. #216, #8384, #8538
  • Implemented the missing Process.argv0 method, used by recent Bundler releases. #8568, #8570

Standard Library

  • The jar-dependencies gem, responsible for fetching jar file dependencies of Ruby gems, can now be updated independently of JRuby. #7262, #8488, #8502
  • An upcoming release of jar-dependencies, will fix issues sourcing jar dependencies in container deployments (partially fixed previously by an updated ruby-maven-libs gem). #7059, #8366
  • The psych gem is updated to version 5.2.3, including a fix for YAML aliases from SnakeYAML-Engine version 2.9. #8352, #8575
  • The reline gem is updated to 0.5.12. #8481

Java Integration

  • Only JVM classes imported from the same classloader hierarchy as JRuby will be bound to constants in JRuby’s package hierarchy. #8156
  • Implementing a Java interface no longer leads to constant redefinition warnings. #8349, #8503
  • Precompiled Ruby scripts now properly prepare optimized homogeneous case/when statements. Previously they would deserialize incorrectly and garble the branches. #8421, #8424

Performance and Usability

  • Additional runtime data structures are eagerly cleared when tearing down a JRuby runtime, aiding GC. #8343, #8566
  • The JRuby shell-based launcher script now properly handles JRuby installed in a path with spaces. #8441, #8442
  • The Class#subclasses method has been optimized to eliminate it as a bottleneck in complex ActiveRecord STI queries. #8457, #8462
  • Integer multiplication operations that overflow outside of int64 range have been optimized to eliminate heavy exception raises. #8516, #8523

Issues and PRs resolved for 9.4.10.0

  • #7059 Issue of Jar dependency with Jruby-9.3.3.0
  • #7262 jar-dependencies cannot be updated out-of-band from jruby
  • #8156 JRuby adds Java proxy classes to the Java module even if they are not from JRubyClassLoader
  • #8343 Free up memory memory used by JRuby during teardown
  • #8349 internal proxy class is stored in Ruby land and prints warning
  • #8352 Cyclic references in Set objects raise exception with YAML#load
  • #8355 NegativeArraySizeException while parsing Heredoc in irb in JRuby 9.4.8.0
  • #8366 Jruby 9.4.8.0 fails to install psych
  • #8384 OutOfMemoryError while constructing a NameError in the context of a large object
  • #8398 ruby2_keywords + forwarding to native does not properly check arity
  • #8412 Intermittent exceptions with ‘Java::JavaLang::NoClassDefFoundError : org/jruby/gen/RubyObject13’
  • #8415 Skip extension builds for default gems
  • #8416 [Possible bug] Can not start jruby-swing applications since 9.4.9.0 – or rather, the window auto-closes almost instantly
  • #8417 Trivial refactoring for match
  • #8421 Incorrect case tree selection when comparing long Symbols during compiled Ruby code execution
  • #8424 Sort the jump tables based on new values
  • #8425 Don’t clear the ThreadGroup when Thread terminates
  • #8431 jruby/thread_dump.rb seems to be broken
  • #8433 Root specialized object classloader at JRuby classloader
  • #8436 Pass Enumerable#uniq arguments properly
  • #8438 Remove rogue exit(0) that shuts down JVM
  • #8441 Spaces in the path cause bin/jruby script to build an invalid command string

  • #8502 Avoid loading jar-dependencies to install gem hook
  • #8503 [ji] do not expose InterfaceImpl classes in Ruby land
  • #8511 Update to jruby-maven-plugins 3.0.4
  • #8512 Disable Maven download progress output on CI jobs
  • #8515 Update jruby-maven-plugins to 3.0.5

parallel @ Savannah: GNU Parallel 20250122 (‘4K-AZ65’) released [stable]

Posted on January 22, 2025 by Michael G

GNU Parallel 20250122 (‘4K-AZ65’) has been released. It is available for download at: lbry://@GnuParallel:4

Quote of the month:

  GNU Parallel too. It is my map/reduce tool with built in support to retry failed jobs.

    — Dhruva @mechanicker.bsky.social

New in this release:

  • No new features. This is a candidate for a stable release.
  • Bug fixes and man page updates.

News about GNU Parallel:

  • How to Implement Parallelism and Concurrency Control (Queue) in Shell https://www.alibabacloud.com/blog/how-to-implement-parallelism-and-concurrency-control-queue-in-shell_601908?spm=a2c65.11461433.0.0.4ee35355IOL2MZ


GNU Parallel – For people who live life in the parallel lane.

If you like GNU Parallel record a video testimonial: Say who you are, what you use GNU Parallel for, how it helps you, and what you like most about it. Include a command that uses GNU Parallel if you feel like it.

About GNU Parallel


GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel.

If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested loops.

GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs.

For example you can run this to convert all jpeg files into png and gif files and have a progress bar:

  parallel –bar convert {1} {1.}.{2} ::: *.jpg ::: png gif

Or you can generate big, medium, and small thumbnails of all jpeg files in sub dirs:

  find . -name ‘*.jpg’ |

    parallel convert -geometry {2} {1} {1//}/thumb{2}_{1/} :::: – ::: 50 100 200

You can find more about GNU Parallel at: http://www.gnu.org/s/parallel/

You can install GNU Parallel in just 10 seconds with:

    $ (wget -O – pi.dk/3 || lynx -source pi.dk/3 || curl pi.dk/3/ ||

       fetch -o – http://pi.dk/3 ) > install.sh

About GNU SQL


GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing databases through all the different databases’ command line clients. So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify login information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port number), size (database and table size), and running queries.

The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you will get that database’s interactive shell.

When using GNU SQL for a publication please cite:

O. Tange (2011): GNU SQL – A Command Line Tool for Accessing Different Databases Using DBURLs, ;login: The USENIX Magazine, April 2011:29-32.

About GNU Niceload


GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a soft limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of time before being suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the limit.

  • Brief description:
    • Have you ever wanted to leverage AI-powered tools to get information about or change the configuration of your website? There’s a module for that
  • Module name/project name:
    • AI Agents
  • Brief history
    • How old: created in Aug 2024 by Marcus Johansson (marcus_johansson) of FreelyGive
    • Versions available: 1.0.1 which supports Drupal 10.3 and 11
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained: that release was in the past week, and was part of the significant effort to get stable releases of the AI modules that are included in Drupal CMS
    • Security coverage
    • Documentation included within the module’s codebase
    • Number of open issues: 30 open issues, 7 of which are bugs against the current branch
  • Usage stats:
    • 119 sites but I suspect that number will increase rapidly once people start using Drupal CMS
  • Module features and usage
    • In AI terminology, an agent is a system able to interact with its environment, collect data, and use the data to perform self-determined tasks
    • The AI Agents module is a framework to provide agents that can perform a variety of functions in your Drupal website
    • It depends on the AI module that we had Jamie Abrahams on the podcast to talk about back in episode #468
    • The module includes plugins that provide three agents, namely:
    • A Field Type Agent that can create or edit fields using the Field API, or answer questions about the fields your site has defined
    • A Content Type agent that can create, edit, or answer questions about node types
    • Taxonomy Agent that can do the same for your site’s vocabularies
    • Anyone who saw the Driesnote AI demos from DrupalCon Barcelona or Singapore will have seen agents in action, in that example through interaction in a chatbot
    • Technically, the plugins are UI agnostic, however. So theoretically you could trigger an agent in other ways. But today, AI Agents power the AI chatbot that you can use in the AI recipe that is included in the recently released Drupal CMS 1.0
    • The AI Agents module also includes some submodules. An experimental form integration submodule adds UI elements to the interfaces for managing fields, content types, and vocabularies, an explorer submodule provides debugging tools, and an experimental Extra submodule provides agents for working with webforms and views. I have also seen a demo of some work underway to provide an ECA agent, so you may soon be able to get your Drupal site to build out ECA models based on the business logic you describe to it

GNU Guix: Meet Guix at FOSDEM

Posted on January 21, 2025 by Michael G

Next week will be FOSDEM time for Guix! As
in previous years, a
sizable delegation of Guix community members will be in Brussels. Right
before FOSDEM, about sixty of us will gather on January 30–31 for
the now traditional Guix Days!

GNU Guix: Meet Guix at FOSDEM

In pure unconference style, we will self-organize and discuss and/or
hack on hot topics: drawing lessons from the user & contributor
survey
,
improving the contributor workflow, sustaining our infrastructure,
improving governance and processes, writing the build daemon in Guile,
optimizing guix pull, Goblinizing the Shepherd… there’s no shortage
of topics!

This time we’ve definitely reached the maximum capacity of our
venue
so please do not just show up if you did not
register. Next
year we’ll have to find a larger venue!

As for FOSDEM itself, here’s your agenda if you want to hear about Guix
and related projects, be it on-line or on-site.

On Saturday, February 1st, in the Open Research
track
:

  • Guix + Software Heritage: Source Code Archiving to the Rescue of
    Reproducible
    Deployment
    ,
    at noon, where Simon Tournier will talk about the latest
    developments connecting Guix and the Software Heritage
    archive
    .

On Sunday, February 2nd, do not miss the amazing Declarative &
Minimalistic Computing
track
! It will
feature many Guile- and Guix-adjacent talks, in particular:

  • RDE: Tools for managing reproducible development
    environments
    ,
    where Nicolas Grave will present how RDE extends Guix and what nifty
    features it brings;
  • The Shepherd: Minimalism in
    PID 1
    ,
    where I (Ludovic Courtès) will talk about the recently-released
    Shepherd 1.0
    and why I think its design makes it the coolest init system to hack
    on;
  • Shepherd with Spritely Goblins for Secure System Layer
    Collaboration
    ,
    where Juliana Sims of Spritely will present on-going work to port
    the Shepherd to
    Goblins

    in support of distributed and capability-based secure computing.

But really, there’s a lot more to see in this track, starting with talks
by our Spritely friends on web development with Guile and Hoot by David
Thompson
,
a presentation of the Goblins distributed computing framework by
Jessica
Tallon
,
and one on Spritely’s vision by Christine Lemmer-Webber
herself

(Spritely will be present in other tracks
too
,
check it out!), as well as a talk by Andy Wingo on what may become
Guile’s new garbage
collector
.

Good times ahead!
