Hey guys,
Congratulations on the release. I'm hoping to get some distutils fixes
for IronPython backported to 2.6, to allow a separate user site-packages
folder for IronPython.
Will you be able to pull in updated versions of site.py and the
distutils package for the final version?

Hello Python Community,
We’re pleased to announce the release of IronPython 2.6 Release
Candidate 2 which can be freely downloaded at
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=34451.
Since the public availability of Release Candidate 1, we’ve addressed
the following:
· The “json” CPython package has been included with our MSI installer
· CPython’s logging module can be utilized without passing the
–X:Frames command-line parameter to ipy.exe
· Documentation distributed with the release has been updated
· A memory leak in the hosting APIs reported on the mailing list was fixed
· Multi-threaded debugging using sys.settrace show now work
· Fixed mapping of .NET “Compare” methods to __cmp__ when they return
the wrong type
· The imp.load_module function now respects the file argument
· A bug related to relative module imports has been addressed
· Fixed indexing on .NET types defining DefaultMemberAttribute
· Several issues involving new-style string formatting have been corrected
If no major issues with this release candidate are discovered, we hope
to ship the final 2.6 release in a little under a month. Anyone
planning on upgrading to 2.6 should try out this release candidate and
let us know of any issues you find ASAP.
