Is there a roundup of what's in this other than the GC fix on symbols? Or is that the only change of note?

The changelog? Perhaps the _two_ listed fixed issues (ffi build failure, Symbol GC memory leak) were just the most important ones according to the maintainer.

Some others:

Fix dependencies to make bigdecimal installable by rubygems

some updates to rb_hash_delete

"restrict searching case-insensitive name from the filesystem to only last part, for the performance"

file.c (rb_file_expand_path_internal): drop characters ignored by filesystem on Mac OS X.

A GC fix on Solaris

" DNS is case-insensitive, so the comparison should be case-insensitive as well"

Some other OS specific fixes
