JRuby 9.3.8.0 Released
The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 9.3.8.0
- Homepage: https://www.jruby.org/
- Download: https://www.jruby.org/download
JRuby 9.3.x is compatible with Ruby 2.6.x and stays in sync with C Ruby. As always there is a mix of miscellaneous fixes so be sure to read the issue list below.
Thanks to our contributors this cycle for helping to improve stability and compatibility of JRuby 9.3: @ahorek, @ccutrer, @evaniainbrooks, @naveensrinivasan
Ruby Compatibility
- Altering the visibility of an included module method no longer changes what super method gets called. (#7240, #7343, #7344, #7356)
- Thread termination at shutdown is more robust and visits all non-main threads. (#7351)
Standard Library
- csv has been updated to 3.2.5 to pick up a fix that eliminates fiber use for simple parse_line calls. (#7346, #7348)
- psych has been updated to 3.3.3 to address CVE-2022-25857, an element-nesting DoS. (#7342)
Experimental Features
- Fibers can now be configured to use OpenJDK Project Loom’s virtual threads, which are lightweight and do not consume a native platform thread. Virtual threads make it possible for JRuby applications to create thousands of concurrently-executing fibers. Enable this feature on Java 19 using the JVM flag
--enable-preview

Episode 5: Why Debian won’t distribute AI models any time soon
In this episode, Stefano Maffulli, executive director of the Open Source Initiative, and Mo Zhou, AI research expert and Debian developer, examine the key components of artificial intelligence systems and how those components by their very nature complicate the idea of AI software that is truly open source.
