The reason we've been releasing 2.0 as monthly alphas is that the Dynamic Language Runtime is still solidifying with improvements being made for IronRuby among other things. While we could release a single alpha (or two) a month prior to 2.0 beta 1, we like to integrate feedback from the community into IronPython frequently. Also, our team tries to follow the agile software development process (i.e., short release cycles). Last but definitely not least, we're aiming to be Python 2.5 compatible with IronPython 2.0 and we're not quite there yet.

Oh sweet news. However, what is the big showstopper to become a beta? A fifth alpha means there must be something quite blocking down the line. /me hopes he'll manage to get it compiled with mono this time. - Sylvain Dave Fugate wrote: > Hi, IronPython 2.0 Alpha 5 will be released after we wrap up work on a number > of high priority bug fixes.
