RELEASED Python 2.5.1, FINAL
On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the release of Python 2.5.1 (FINAL) This is the first bugfix release of Python 2.5. Python 2.5 is now in bugfix-only mode; no new features are being added. According to the release notes, over 150 bugs and patches have been addressed since Python 2.5, including a fair number in the new AST compiler (an internal implementation detail of the Python interpreter). This is a production release of Python, and should be a painless upgrade from 2.5. Since the release candidate, we have backed out a couple of small changes that caused 2.5.1 to behave differently to 2.5. See the release notes for more. For more information on Python 2.5.1, including download links for various platforms, release notes, and known issues, please see: http://www.python.org/2.5.1/ Highlights of this new release include: Bug fixes. According to the release notes, at least 150 have been fixed. Highlights of the previous major Python release (2.5) are available from the Python 2.5 page, at http://www.python.org/2.5/highlights.html Enjoy this release, Anthony Anthony Baxter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Release Manager (on behalf of the entire python-dev team) pgp06hjbDDPkH.pgp Description: PGP signature -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html

SECURITY ADVISORY [PSF-2006-001] Buffer overrun in repr() for UCS-4 encoded unicode strings
SECURITY ADVISORY [PSF-2006-001] Buffer overrun in repr() for UCS-4 encoded unicode strings http://www.python.org/news/security/PSF-2006-001/ Advisory ID: PSF-2006-001 Issue Date: October 12, 2006 Product: Python Versions: 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 prior to 2.4.4, wide unicode (UCS-4) builds only CVE Names:CAN-2006-4980 Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. The Python development team has discovered a flaw in the repr() implementation of Unicode string objects which can lead to execution of arbitrary code due to an overflow in a buffer allocated with insufficient size. The flaw only manifests itself in Python builds configured to support UCS-4 Unicode strings (using the --enable-unicode=ucs4 configure flag). This is still not the default, which is why the vulnerability should not be present in most Python builds out there, especially not the builds for the Windows or Mac OS X platform provided by www.python.org. You can find out whether you are running a UCS-4 enabled build by looking at the sys.maxunicode attribute: it is 65535 in a UCS-2 build and 1114111 in a UCS-4 build. More information can be found in this posting to the python-dev mailing list: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-October/069260.html The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2006-4980 to this issue. Python 2.4.4 will be released from www.python.org next week containing a fix for this issue. A release candidate of 2.4.4 is already available containing the fix. Python 2.5 also already contains the fix and is not vulnerable. Patches for Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 are also immediately available: * http://python.org/files/news/security/PSF-2006-001/patch-2.3.txt (Python 2.2, 2.3) * http://python.org/files/news/security/PSF-2006-001/patch-2.4.txt (Python 2.4) Acknowledgement: thanks to Benjamin C.

RELEASED Python 2.5 (FINAL)
It's been nearly 20 months since the last major release of Python (2.4), and 5 months since the first alpha release of this cycle, so I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to say: On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the FINAL release of Python 2.5. This is a *production* release of Python 2.5. Yes, that's right, it's finally here. Python 2.5 is probably the most significant new release of Python since 2.2, way back in the dark ages of 2001. There's been a wide variety of changes and additions, both user-visible and underneath the hood. In addition, we've switched to SVN for development and now use Buildbot to do continuous testing of the Python codebase. Much more information (as well as source distributions and Windows and Universal Mac OSX installers) are available from the 2.5 website: http://www.python.org/2.5/ The new features in Python 2.5 are described in Andrew Kuchling's What's New In Python 2.5. It's available from the 2.5 web page. Amongst the new features of Python 2.5 are conditional expressions, the with statement, the merge of try/except and try/finally into try/except/finally, enhancements to generators to produce coroutine functionality, and a brand new AST-based compiler implementation underneath the hood. There's a variety of smaller new features as well. New to the standard library are hashlib, ElementTree, sqlite3, wsgiref, uuid and ctypes. As well, a new higher-performance profiling module (cProfile) was added. Extra-special thanks on behalf of the entire Python community should go out to Neal Norwitz, who's done absolutely sterling work in shepherding Python 2.5 through to it's final release.

RELEASED Python 2.5 (FINAL)
It's been nearly 20 months since the last major release of Python (2.4), and 5 months since the first alpha release of this cycle, so I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to say: On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the FINAL release of Python 2.5. This is a *production* release of Python 2.5. Yes, that's right, it's finally here. Python 2.5 is probably the most significant new release of Python since 2.2, way back in the dark ages of 2001. There's been a wide variety of changes and additions, both user-visible and underneath the hood. In addition, we've switched to SVN for development and now use Buildbot to do continuous testing of the Python codebase. Much more information (as well as source distributions and Windows and Universal Mac OSX installers) are available from the 2.5 website: http://www.python.org/2.5/ The new features in Python 2.5 are described in Andrew Kuchling's What's New In Python 2.5.

Re: Installing Python on a 64-Bit OS
More recent versions of Python have incorporated much more support for 64-bit architectures. 2.5 is about to be released (I believe it should be out in the next 24 hours), and I'd recommend that over the older version you are considering. If by 24 hours you mean 20 minutes ago, this is entirely correct wink -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
RELEASED Python 2.5 (release candidate 2)
On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the second RELEASE CANDIDATE of Python 2.5. After the first release candidate a number of new bugfixes have been applied to the Python 2.5 code. In the interests of making 2.5 the best release possible, we've decided to put out a second (and hopefully last) release candidate. We plan for a 2.5 final in a week's time. This is not yet the final release - it is not suitable for production use. It is being released to solicit feedback and hopefully expose bugs, as well as allowing you to determine how changes in 2.5 might impact you. As a release candidate, this is one of your last chances to test the new code in 2.5 before the final release. *Please* try this release out and let us know about any problems you find. In particular, note that changes to improve Python's support of 64 bit systems might require authors of C extensions to change their code. More information (as well as source distributions and Windows and Universal Mac OSX installers) are available from the 2.5 website: http://www.python.org/2.5/ As of this release, Python 2.5 is now in *feature freeze*. Unless absolutely necessary, no functionality changes will be made between now and the final release of Python 2.5. The new features in Python 2.5 are described in Andrew Kuchling's What's New In Python 2.5. It's available from the 2.5 web page. Amongst the language features added include conditional expressions, the with statement, the merge of try/except and try/finally into try/except/finally, enhancements to generators to produce a coroutine kind of functionality, and a brand new AST-based compiler implementation. New modules added include hashlib, ElementTree, sqlite3, wsgiref, uuid and ctypes. In addition, a new profiling module cProfile was added.

RELEASED Python 2.5 (beta 3)
On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the third BETA release of Python 2.5. This is an *beta* release of Python 2.5. As such, it is not suitable for a production environment. It is being released to solicit feedback and hopefully discover bugs, as well as allowing you to determine how changes in 2.5 might impact you. If you find things broken or incorrect, please log a bug on Sourceforge. In particular, note that changes to improve Python's support of 64 bit systems might require authors of C extensions to change their code. More information (as well as source distributions and Windows and Universal Mac OSX installers) are available from the 2.5 website: http://www.python.org/2.5/ There's been over 50 fixes since the second beta. This large number of changes meant we felt more comfortable cutting a third beta release, rather than charging ahead to the release candidate. As of this release, Python 2.5 is now in *feature freeze*. Unless absolutely necessary, no functionality changes will be made between now and the final release of Python 2.5. The plan is that this will be the final beta release (no, really, this time for sure (probably)). We should now move to one or more release candidates, leading to a 2.5 final release early August. PEP 356 includes the schedule and will be updated as the schedule evolves. At this point, any testing you can do would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

More information (as well as source distributions and Windows installers) are available from the 2.5 website: http://www.python.org/2.5/ A Universal Mac OSX Installer will be available shortly - in the meantime, Mac users can build from the source tarballs. Since the first beta, a large number of bug fixes have been made to Python 2.5 - see the release notes (available from the 2.5 webpage) for the full details. There has been one very small new feature added - the sys._current_frames() function was added. This is extremely useful for tracking down deadlocks and related problems - a similar technique is already used in the popular DeadlockDebugger extension for Zope. It is not possible to do this sort of debugging from outside the Python core safely and robustly, which is why we've snuck this in after the feature freeze. As of this release, Python 2.5 is now in *feature freeze*. Unless absolutely necessary, no functionality changes will be made between now and the final release of Python 2.5. The plan is for this to be the final beta release. We should now move to one or more release candidates, leading to a 2.5 final release early August.
