Log: Add rough draft for the release announcement diff --git a/pypy/doc/release-pypy3.3-v5.5.0.rst b/pypy/doc/release-pypy3.3-v5.5.0.rst new file mode 100644 --- /dev/null +++ b/pypy/doc/release-pypy3.3-v5.5.0.rst @@ -0,0 +1,68 @@ +============ +PyPy3 v5.5.0 +============ + +We're pleased to announce the release of PyPy3 v5.5.0. Coming four months +after PyPy3.3 v5.2, it improves compatibility with Python 3.3 (3.3.5). We +strongly recommend updating from previous PyPy3 versions. + +We would like to thank all of the people who donated_ to the `py3k proposal`_ +for supporting the work that went into this release. + +You can download the PyPy3.3 v5.5.0 release here: + + http://pypy.org/download.html#python-3-3-5-compatible-pypy3-3-v5-5 + +Highlights +========== + +* Improved Python 3.3.5 support. + + - os.get_terminal_size(), time.monotonic(), str.casefold() + + - faulthandler module + + - There are still some `missing features`_ such as a + `PEP 393-like space efficient string representation`_ and `known issues`_ + including performance regressions (e.g. issue `#2305`_). The focus for this + release has been updating to 3.3 compatibility. Windows is also not yet + supported. + +* `ensurepip`_ is also included (it's only included in CPython 3 >= 3.4). + +What is PyPy? +============== + +PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for +CPython 2.7.10 and 3.3.5. It's fast due to its integrated tracing JIT +compiler. + +We also welcome developers of other `dynamic languages`_ to see what RPython +can do for them. + +This release supports: + + * **x86** machines on most common operating systems except Windows + (Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, OpenBSD, FreeBSD), + + * newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux, + + * big- and little-endian variants of **PPC64** running Linux, + + * **s390x** running Linux + +Please try it out and let us know what you think. We welcome feedback, we know +you are using PyPy, please tell us about it! + +Cheers + +The PyPy Team + +.. _donated: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2012/01/py3k-and-numpy-first-stage-thanks-to.html +.. _`py3k proposal`: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html +.. _`PEP 393-like space efficient string representation`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2309/optimized-unicode-representation +.. _`missing features`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues?status=new&status=open&component=PyPy3+%28running+Python+3.x%29&kind=enhancement +.. _`known issues`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues?status=new&status=open&component=PyPy3%20%28running%20Python%203.x%29 +.. _`#2305`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2305 +.. _`ensurepip`: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ensurepip.html#module-ensurepip +.. _`dynamic languages`: http://pypyjs.org _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
