Thanks to all people on the project and mailing lists for making jruby a much
better piece of software.

User-visible Changes:
- Math only defined its functions only as singleton methods
- Fixed most numerical conversion protocols (e.g. callCoerced and to_int)
- Fixes some concurrency issues in method cache and object space collection
- StringIO now passes all of C-Ruby sources unit tests
- Allow Class.new to recieve a block
- Add IO.binmode
- file.read() on empty file returns ""
- File test functions do not work properly if cwd changes
- Add missing function File#read
- Allow expandPath to get a named users home directory if possible
- Do not let ReturnJump bubble out to caller (and actually return in eval())
- Add digest support (for md5, sha1, and sha2)
- If file is read-only, Java does not like opening a random-access file "rw"
- Allow split to work with zero-width positive lookahead regexps
- Make Dir#glob work with paths embedded in {}'s
- Dir#rmdir now throws ENOENT
- Dir#mkdir now throws EEXIST
- ENV['HOME'] added
- ENV global moved to better location
- Dir#chdir can have no arg version now
- Dir#chdir now chdirs in the correct location
- File#expand_path now understands '~'
- Object#methods now returns proper public methods
- Fix classMaps of methods being modified during yield (which is bad when that method is called by more than one thread at a time)
- RubyArray now implements java.util.List
- RubyHash now implements java.util.Map
- Fcntl expected as a namespace even if a particular fcntl call does not exist.
- Inner classes or modules defined outside inner class/module were getting defined in wrong place (class F::G; end)
- Fix concurrency issue by synchronizing some Stacks
- Fix dead-lock where dying thread appears to be alive and a second thread waits for the dying thread to yield (at which time it is already dead)
- Move abstract stack users a few steps closer java.util.Stack contract
- new method cache implementation
- Object.public_methods should be alias to Object.methods
- to_proc.call not returning an array when an array result
- break from blocks can sometimes not throw LocalJumpError
- some miscellaneous refactoring
- Creating extra block when we shouldn't
- Java List objects can now use collect without throwing exception
- Remove 'construct' from Enumerable
- Smaller block/proc fixes
- Calling super from a module method causes a NullPointerException (should call Object method)
- method_missing should sometimes throw NameError
- Our special cases for nil,true,and false in method_missing is outdated
- Remove secondary data store for core classes. Also removed optional ways of getting a reference to said classes.
- Range#new did not exist
- Ruby modules embedded in jar files were not loading right on windows
- Remove finalize() from RubyIO since it should be unneeded and sometimes could close embedders System.out, System.err, and System.in
- Invalid glob expressions caused crash (e.g. Dir.glob("{"))
- Change Dir.pos= to return Fixnum instead of self
- Implement Dir.path
- Enumerable#detect and find should return value of failure proc instead of nil
- A File mode with File::CREAT is a writeable mode
- clone of a singleton instance was failing because we had a check failing to account for differing metaclass in new clone
- Add Class.allocate
- $! was only getting set in rescue versus when raised
- Add Module#included (1.8 method)
