This is a stable bugfix release +over 2.0. You can download it here: + + http://pypy.org/download.html + +The fixes are mainly about fatal errors or crashes in our stdlib. See +below for more details. + +What is PyPy? +============= + +PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for +CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 2.0 and cpython 2.7.3`_ performance comparison) +due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler. + +This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64 or +Windows 32. Support for ARM is progressing but not bug-free yet. + +.. _`pypy 2.0 and cpython 2.7.3`: http://speed.pypy.org + +Highlights +========== + +- fix an occasional crash in the JIT that ends in `RPython Fatal error: + NotImplementedError`__. + +- `id(x)` is now always a positive number (expect on int/float/long/complex). + This fixes an issue in ``_sqlite.py`` (mostly for 32-bit Linux). + +- fix crashes of callback-from-C-functions (with cffi) when used together + with Stackless features, on asmgcc (i.e. Linux only). Now `gevent should + work better`__. + +- work around an eventlet issue with `socket._decref_socketios()`__. + +.. __: https://bugs.pypy.org/issue1482 +.. __: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2013-May/011362.html +.. __: https://bugs.pypy.org/issue1468 + +Cheers, +arigo et. al. for the PyPy team _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
