What any plan for support VS 2005?
2005/6/15, Martin Maly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello IronPython community > > Now that we have shipped the 0.7.6 release of IronPython we want to > share our plans for the future releases, how we get from here to the 0.8 > release. > > There are two areas in which we want to make broader changes between now > and 0.8. They both relate to the way IronPython relates to the rest of > the .Net world. These areas are: > > 1) Inheritance and method overriding > 2) Overloaded method resolution and type conversions > > The inheritance and method overriding changes will enable inheriting > Python classes from any .Net classes (including built-in classes such as > list, tuple, int, str ...) and will also address how .Net and Python > paradigms exist and work together. For example .Net constructors and > Python __init__ methods, .Net ToString() and Python __str__ method or > .Net finalizers/destructors and Python's __del__ method. > > The overloaded method resolution and type conversions are closely > related. Together they will address how IronPython determines what > method is the best match for the given parameter list. Current > implementation fails to find the correct match in some cases, which > results in calling the method that is not the best match, or in failing > the call altogether. > > The completion of these major changes will mark the 0.8 milestone. We do > believe that 0.8 will be the next release following the 0.7.6, barring > any unexpected surprises during the course of the work. Our current best > estimate is to make the 0.8 available in early July 2005. > > The big work items between 0.8 and 1.0 will be: Python completeness, > Python 2.4 compatibility, running Python regression test suite, optional > static compilation and general finishing touches. > > Thanks and keep in touch > The IronPython team > > _______________________________________________ > users-ironpython.com mailing list > users-ironpython.com@lists.ironpython.com > http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com > _______________________________________________ users-ironpython.com mailing list users-ironpython.com@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
