JRuby 1.7.16 is our sixteenth update release since JRuby 1.7.0. The primary
goal of 1.7 point releases is to fill out any missing compatibility issues
with Ruby 1.9.3. The community participation lately has been great. Keep
reporting issues and sending pull requests.

Changes of note:

- 20 issues fixed for 1.7.16
- Fixed regression which improperly wrote wrong version for OSGi bundles
- Fixed several regressions involving symbolic links and Ruby loading
- Doubled performance of FileTest.directory?
