We’re pleased to announce that TruffleRuby 33.0.1 is now available. This is a bug fix release that notably adds support for structured event reporting in Rails 8.1 (and any other usage of Fiber storage). We’ve also addressed some non-UTF-8 encoding issues, Integer & Float ceil with negative precision, and mkmf.rb’s `—target-rbconfig`.

More details at:

https://github.com/truffleruby/truffleruby/releases/tag/graal-33.0.1

We recommend all TruffleRuby users upgrade. Available now in common Ruby installers.

This is a huge release for TruffleRuby. It’s our first under our new org.

If you’ve been hesitant about contributing because of the CLA, please note that we no longer have one. We can also release more frequently so please report bugs or open PRs.

I'm really happy to see @marcoroth receive the 2025 Rails Luminary Award! 🎉

He’s done so much for the Rails ecosystem and the broader Ruby community.
He's always humble, thoughtful, and full of positive energy.
And I think that he never sleeps. 😅
Feels great to know that people like him are part of our community.

Huge congrats, Marco! 🙌
Also it's nice to have @fxn and @amandabperino around.

TruffleRuby can now run C/native extensions in parallel, just like Ruby code runs in parallel in Threads on TruffleRuby!
Native extensions need to opt in with rb_ext_ractor_safe(true) or rb_ext_thread_safe(true). Many gems already do that.
See https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/blob/master/doc/user/thread-safe-extensions.md for more details.

My thoughts on the new #Ruby namespaces (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21311) in one sentence:
Sub-interpreters are similar to Namespace + Ractor but with proper isolation, full compatibility, linear scaling and clear semantics.

Compatibility is a key argument here, Ractor can't use most gems.
