JRuby 1.7.15 is our fifteenth 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.

This release is a quick followup release to JRuby 1.7.14. JRuby 1.7.14 had
a mangled jruby-jars release as well as several non-obvious regressions
involving our new load service internals. We apologize if these regressions
have affected you and recommend all people upgrade to 1.7.15.

Changes of note:

- 8 issues fixed for 1.7.15
- Potential memory leak resolved when reloading JRuby apps in Java App
servers
- jruby-jars gem did not have their embedded jars within it
- rvm install of jruby would not properly follow gemset symlinks
- Windows exec works again
- lstat did not honor native.enabled property and always invoked native
