The latest sources also include some breaking changes to the Hosting API in the way the runtime and engine are initialized. So if your app is also a host, you would have to spend time fixing these changes. However, it probably isn't a lot of work to incorporate this change and this is something you would have to eventually do going forward.

Ipy.exe startup time took a ~60% hit a couple weeks ago which we're trying to get fixed before IP 2.0B5. Also, there might be a few socket issues we're also in the process of fixing for Beta 5. That said, there have been a huge number of bugs that have been fixed since Beta 4.

Hi All, Well the time has come again to upgrade to a newer version of IronPython. I'm tempted to try one of the source code drops instead of Beta 4,is there any reason I shouldn't use this morning's drop? I'm happy to see that the performance of IronPython has been improving constantly. Performance is key, I've upgraded my development PC twice, and am running at a 20% overclock just to keep the edit, refresh, debug cycles down to a reasonable amount of time. A large Silverlight project takes a while to load in the browser :( Incidentally bugs in psycopg2 drove me to create a ctypes client library for PostgreSQL. This was my last remaining C library on the backend, so I'm no longer tied to CPython. I eventually (early next year) intend to compare IronPython on Mono to CPython 2.5 for running the backend server, and choose the fastest of the two for final testing and deployment. I expect I'll be pleasantly surprised by IronPython. -Dan _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
