> JRuby 1.1.3 is the third point release of JRuby 1.1.  The fixes in this

> Highlights:
>
> - RubyGems 1.2
> - Greatly improved interpreter performance
> - jrubyc compiler usability improvements and bug fixes
> - Reduced memory usage and object churn
> - Dozens of IO-related and core class RubySpec fixes + reduced memory for IO
> - ThreadGroup fixes to resolve Mongrel "dead thread" issues
> - New options/properties for tweaking JIT, thread pooling, and more
> - Block invocation performance improvements
> - Much faster Time performance
> - Much better support for --debug
> - 82 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1.2
