Core OS

MacRuby is a version of Ruby 1.9 ported to run directly on top of Mac OS X core technologies such as the Objective-C common runtime and garbage collector, and the CoreFoundation framework. While still a work in progress, it is the goal of MacRuby to enable the creation of full-fledged Mac OS X applications which do not sacrifice performance in order to enjoy the benefits of using Ruby.

What's New

Version 0.9:

Lots of stability fixes (crashers, memory leaks and race conditions), and a few performance improvements.
The internal representation of Strings changed from a dual binary / UTF-16 model to a pure binary one, principally to avoid problems in multithreaded applications. Performance should remain the same in most cases.
The macruby_deploy program has been enhanced to embed RubyGems (with dependencies) and BridgeSupport files. See the new respective --gem and --bs options.
The libmacruby-static.a library is not built by default anymore, because static compilation is still a work in progress.
Upgraded to RubyGems 1.4.2.
