;[I"NSpeedup Proc#call because we don't need to care about <code>$SAFE</code> ;TI" any more. [Feature #14318];T@

;[I"IWith +lc_fizzbuzz+ benchmark which uses Proc#call many times we can ;TI"-measure x1.4 improvements. [Bug #10212];T@

;[I"MAdditionally, Ruby 2.6 improves the performance of passed block calling.;T@

;[I"jIntroduce an initial implementation of a JIT (Just-in-time) compiler. [Feature #14235] [experimental];T@
o;;;;[ o;;0;[o;
;[I"Y<tt>--jit</tt> command line option is added to enable JIT. <tt>--jit-verbose=1</tt> ;TI"Bis good for inspection. See <tt>ruby --help</tt> for others.;To;;0;[o;
;[I"WTo generate machine code, this JIT compiler uses the C compiler used for building ;TI"Zthe interpreter. Currently GCC, Clang, and Microsoft Visual C++ are supported for it.;To;;0;[o;
;[I"d<tt>--disable-mjit-support</tt> option is added to configure. This is added for JIT debugging, ;TI"`but if you get an error on building a header file for JIT, you can use this option to skip ;TI"!building it as a workaround.;To;;0;[o;

;[I"Ktheap is a managed heap for short-living memory objects. For example, ;TI"Tmaking a small and short-living Hash object is x2 faster. With rdoc benchmark, ;TI".we measured 6-7% performance improvement.;T@

;[I"QNative implementations (arm32, arm64, ppc64le, win32, win64, x86, amd64) of ;TI"Ocoroutines to improve performance of Fiber significantly. [Feature #14739];T@

;[I"POn macOS, shared libraries no longer include a full version number of Ruby ;TI"Nin their names. This eliminates the burden of each teeny upgrade on the ;TI"Aplatform that users need to rebuild every extension library.;T@
