SAN FRANCISCO (04/07/2008 - Unveiled Monday as the second major project release, JRuby 1.1 features performance improvements, a re-factored IO implementation and improved memory consumption. 

Also featured is compilation of Ruby to Java byte and an Oniguruma port to Java. Oniguruma is a regular expressions library. 

"The main goal for version 1.1 was to improve performance," said Sun engineer Thomas Enebo, in a statement released by Sun. "With the help from the community, we have made great strides in performance. There have been more and more reports of applications exceeding Ruby 1.8.6 performance; we are even beating Ruby 1.9 in some micro-benchmarks."
