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.

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.

TruffleRuby 24.1 is released!🚀🎉 It updates to Ruby 3.2.4, gets a lot of compatibility and bug fixes, and significant performance improvements: https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/releases/tag/graal-24.1.0

The main performance improvement is a complete review of all 100+ inline caches to ensure they use splitting to keep these inline caches as fast and monomoprhic as possible. You can find more information about splitting and inline caches in this talk: https://rubykaigi.org/2023/presentations/eregontp.html

Native extensions are now compiled using the system toolchain and executed natively instead of using GraalVM LLVM (Sulong), which leads to faster startup, faster warmup, better compatibility, smaller distribution and faster installation.

Full support for the Ruby 3.2 & 3.3 syntax, including pattern matching, was made possible by adopting the Prism parser, which is about twice as fast as the old parser!

TruffleRuby 24.0 is released!🚀🎉 It ships with 3 major features:
* Native extensions are executed natively for faster warmup
* Near-complete support for Ruby 3.2 (97.4% of specs)
* Full support for the Ruby syntax by adopting the Prism parser

This was a large effort which started a year ago and was the main focus of Andrii Konchyn for the last 4 months, but is all worth it maintenance-wise, especially since the old parser (based on parse.y) was difficult to update. Prism also has a much cleaner AST and is well designed.
