Ruby Compatibility
- Various fixes for keyword arguments. #8344, #8344, #8382, #8389

Standard Library

fiddle
library is now a default gem and can be upgraded independently of JRuby. #8385
Developer Experience
- The core jar file of JRuby can be rebuilt more quickly by calling Maven with the
-Dcore
flag. #8326 - Support for Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint (OpenJDK Project CRaC), which allows snapshotting a running JRuby process and quickly resuming it later. #8367
Java Integration
- The “lazy” constants feature for classes imported from Java, introduced in JRuby 9.4.8.0, has been reverted due to spurious warnings. We’ll revisit it in a future release. #8349, #8368, #8399, #8400, #8401
