v2026.2.9

This release brings a quality-of-life improvement for Ruby users on older Linux distributions, plus a couple of important bug fixes.

### Highlights

**Automatic Ruby variant selection for older glibc systems** ([#8069](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/8069))

If you're running Linux with glibc older than 2.35 (common on RHEL 7, Amazon Linux 2, CentOS 7, or older Debian/Ubuntu versions), mise will now automatically download the no-YJIT precompiled Ruby variant instead of failing with cryptic errors. This means precompiled Ruby "just works" on a much wider range of Linux systems without any manual configuration. Systems with glibc 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+) continue to get the standard YJIT-enabled builds as before.

### Bug Fixes

- **Windows shim updates with self-update** ([#8075](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/8075)) — `mise self-update` on Windows now properly updates `mise-shim.exe` alongside `mise.exe`. Previously, users had to manually download the shim from GitHub releases after updating.

- **Fixed `cargo install mise`** ([#8077](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/8077)) — Bumped the `xx` dependency to 2.5 to fix an issue where Cargo was selecting an incompatible older version, causing installation failures. Thanks @erickt for the fix and welcome to mise!

### Documentation

- Ruby precompiled binaries are no longer marked as experimental ([#8073](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/8073)) — they're stable and ready for production use.
