Note that as TruffleRuby RC 13 is built on Ruby 2.4.4 it is still vulnerable to CVE-2018-16395.
This will be fixed in the next release.

New features:

  • Host interop with Java now works on SubstrateVM too.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed Enumerator::Lazy which wrongly rescued StandardError (#1557).
  • Fixed several problems with Numeric#step related to default arguments, infinite sequences, and bad argument types (#1520).
  • Fixed incorrect raising of ArgumentError with Range#step when at least one component of the Range is Float::INFINITY (#1503).
  • Fixed the wrong encoding being associated with certain forms of heredoc strings (#1563).
  • Call #coerce on right hand operator if BigDecimal is the left hand operator (#1533).
  • Fixed return type of division of Integer.MIN_VALUE and Long.MIN_VALUE by -1 (#1581).
  • Exception#cause is now correctly set for internal exceptions (#1560).
  • rb_num2ull is now implemented as well as being declared in the ruby.h header (#1573).
  • rb_sym_to_s is now implemented (#1575).
  • R_TYPE_P now returns the type number for a wider set of Ruby objects (#1574).
  • rb_fix2str has now been implemented.
  • rb_protect will now work even if NilClass#== has been redefined.
  • BigDecimal has been moved out of the Truffle module to match MRI.
  • StringIO#puts now correctly handles to_s methods which do not return strings (#1577).
  • Array#each now behaves like MRI when the array is modified (#1580).
  • Clarified that $SAFE can never be set to a non-zero value.
  • Fix compatibility with RubyGems 3 (#1558).
  • Kernel#respond_to? now returns false if a method is protected and the include_all argument is false (#1568).

Changes:

  • TRUFFLERUBY_CEXT_ENABLED is no longer supported and C extensions are now always built, regardless of the value of this environment variable.
  • Getting a substring of a string created by a C extension now uses less memory as only the requested portion will be copied to a managed string.
  • -Xoptions has been deprecated and will be removed - use --help:languages instead.
  • -Xlog= has been deprecated and will be removed - use --log.level= instead.
  • -J has been deprecated and will be removed - use --jvm. instead.
  • -J-cp lib.jar and so on have been deprecated and will be removed - use --jvm.cp=lib.jar or --jvm.classpath=lib.jar instead.
  • -J-cmd, --jvm.cmd, JAVA_HOME, JAVACMD, and JAVA_OPTS do not work in any released configuration of TruffleRuby, so have been removed.
  • -Xoption=value has been deprecated and will be removed - use --option=value instead.
  • TracePoint now raises an ArgumentError for unsupported events.
  • TracePoint.trace and TracePoint#inspect have been implemented.

Compatibility:

  • Improved the exception when an -S file isn't found.
  • Removed the message from exceptions raised by bare raise to better match MRI (#1487).
  • TracePoint now handles the :class event.

Performance:

  • Sped up String handling in native extensions, quite substantially in some cases, by reducing conversions between native and managed strings and allowing for mutable metadata in native strings.
