On behalf of the IronPython team, I'm happy to announce the second preview release of IronPython 2.7.2 is available at http://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/81331.
Like all IronPython 2.7-series releases, .NET 4 is required to install it. Installing this release will replace any existing IronPython 2.7-series installation. Unlike previous releases, the assemblies for all supported platforms are included in the installer as well as the zip package. IronPython 2.7.2 Alpha 2 includes support for .NET 3.5, .NET 4, Silverlight 4, Silverlight 5, Mono for Android 4.0, and Windows Phone 7.5. Check the "Platforms" directory for the required assemblies. Any feedback on the supported platforms, especially for Android and Windows Phone, is greatly appreciated. The intent is to add support for MonoTouch prior to the final release of 2.7.2, but it is a much bigger challenge. Windows 8 "Metro" apps may also be supported, but the previews release is rather close to the 2.7.2 target date. Otherwise, the biggest improvement in IronPython 2.7.2 is support for the zipimport module, thanks to Alex Earl, and the sqlite3 module. A bunch of other bugs have been fixed as well. The final release of IronPython 2.7.2 is currently set for March 11. Any fixes should be made available prior to the release of the RC on March 4th. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
