This is the first release of PyPy which targets Python 3 (3.2.3) +compatibility. + +We would like to thank all of the people who donated_ to the `py3k proposal`_ +for supporting the work that went into this and future releases. + +You can download the PyPy3 2.1 beta 1 release here: + + http://pypy.org/download.html#pypy3-2-1-beta-1 + +Highlights +========== + +* The first release of PyPy3: support for Python 3, targetting CPython 3.2.3! + + - There are some `known issues`_ including performance regressions (issues + `#1540`_ & `#1541`_) slated to be resolved before the final release. + +What is PyPy? +============== + +PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for +CPython 2.7.3 or 3.2.3. It's fast due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler. + +This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64 or Windows +32. Also this release supports ARM machines running Linux 32bit - anything with +``ARMv6`` (like the Raspberry Pi) or ``ARMv7`` (like Beagleboard, +Chromebook, Cubieboard, etc.) that supports ``VFPv3`` should work. + +Windows 64 work is still stalling and we would welcome a volunteer to handle +that. + +How to use PyPy? +================= + +We suggest using PyPy from a `virtualenv`_. Once you have a virtualenv +installed, you can follow instructions from `pypy documentation`_ on how +to proceed. This document also covers other `installation schemes`_. + +.. _donated: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2012/01/py3k-and-numpy-first-stage-thanks-to.html +.. _`py3k proposal`: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html +.. _`known issues`: https://bugs.pypy.org/issue?%40search_text=&title=py3k&%40columns=title&keyword=&id=&%40columns=id&creation=&creator=&release=&activity=&%40columns=activity&%40sort=activity&actor=&priority=&%40group=priority&status=-1%2C1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6&%40columns=status&assignedto=&%40columns=assignedto&%40pagesize=50&%40startwith=0&%40queryname=&%40old-queryname=&%40action=search +.. _`#1540`: https://bugs.pypy.org/issue1540 +.. _`#1541`: https://bugs.pypy.org/issue1541 +.. _`pypy documentation`: http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/getting-started.html#installing-using-virtualenv +.. _`virtualenv`: http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/ +.. _`installation schemes`: http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/getting-started.html#installing-pypy + + +Cheers, +the PyPy team diff --git a/pypy/doc/whatsnew-pypy3-2.1.0-beta1.rst b/pypy/doc/whatsnew-pypy3-2.1.0-beta1.rst new file mode 100644 --- /dev/null +++ b/pypy/doc/whatsnew-pypy3-2.1.0-beta1.rst @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +========================= +What's new in PyPy3 2.1.0 +========================= + +.. this is a revision shortly after pypy3-release-2.1.x +.. startrev: 1fc106b34e94 _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
