CodePlex's TFS server seems to be down suddenly.. it's a conspiracy.

I recall this was a matter of some debate in the past, so I wasn't quite sure
if it was *worth* adding :)
Of course, MSI was a big debate in the past as well...

As with all feature requests, please add it to CodePlex. :)

Since there's an MSI now, could we hope for updates/new-major-versions
via Windows Update? Like online banking, I've come to rely on things updating
themselves, rather than having to keep track of various support download sites.
Not to be exclusive - I would expect downloads at CodePlex to remain available
-- but for the ease of installation and maintainance, it's hard to beat
built-in, unified updaters.
If side-by-side versioning is required, I could see a current-version
environment variable that could be added to the path.

Subject: [IronPython] Announcing IronPython 2.0
Hello Python Community,
The IronPython and Dynamic Language Runtime teams are proud to announce
the release of IronPython 2.0 final. IronPython 2.0 is the culmination of
nearly two years worth of work resulting in a CPython 2.5 compatible release on
.NET 2.0 SP1. By far, the biggest change to 2.0 is that our 1.1 codebase was
refactored to run on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime
<http://www.codeplex.com/dlr> . With this we automatically get improvements in
many feature areas such as better .NET interop support and hosting Python from
managed code. There have been many other major improvements as well. The most
notable are:
· An MSI installer for Windows platforms which includes parts
of the CPython 2.5 standard library
· IronPython assemblies targeting Silverlight and tools such as
Chiron to improve the Silverlight dynamic development experience
· The addition of more C-based standard modules such as cmath
and _winreg
· Significant improvements in importing compatibility and
features
· Distribution of IronPython under the Microsoft Public License
which has been approved by OSI
· Performance improvements. On that note, a new Wiki page has
been created for IronPython performance reports - see
http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/Wiki/View.aspx?title=IronPython%20Performance
· Over 500 bugs have been closed in 2.0. 453 of these were
reported on CodePlex
· Support for precompilation of Python source files into a
single dll
This seems like an opportune time to remind everyone that we fix bugs
based on the number of votes they have on CodePlex. As we're planning on
releasing IronPython 2.0.1 fairly soon, please vote for your favorite bugs at
http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/AdvancedList.aspx to help ensure
they get fixed in time for the next release.
We'd like to extend our gratitude to everyone in the IronPython
community who reported bugs thereby making this a better release: milind,
