On behalf of the IronPython team, I'm happy to announce the first preview release of IronPython 2.7.2, 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 1 includes support for .NET 3.5, .NET 4, Silverlight 4, Silverlight 5, and Mono for Android 4.0. Check the "Platforms" directory for the required assemblies. Any feedback on the supported platforms, especially for Android, is greatly appreciated. The intent is to add support for Windows Mobile 7.5 and MonoTouch prior to the final release of 2.7.2. Windows 8 "Metro" may also be supported, depending on when its first beta is released. Otherwise, the biggest improvement in IronPython 2.7.2 is support for the zipimport module, thanks to Alex Earl. A handful of other bugs have been fixed as well. The final release of IronPython 2.7.2 is currently set for March 11[1]. Any fixes should be made available prior to the release of the RC on March 4th. As always, if you'd like to contribute and need assistance, let me know and I'll be happy to help. - Jeff [1]https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=i72rkrajdpshnj17rvmqatmp88%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
