JRuby 1.7.12 is our twelfth 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:

- 39 issues fixed for 1.7.12
- Mostly small 1.9.3 compatibility fixes
- Fixed a small leak if throwing lots of X509Errors
- Improved loading speed of Ruby files from jar files.
