1) The version would most likely be Jython-2.0:
i:\>jython
Jython 2.0 pre-alpha on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
IMO, this version number makes perfect sense considering that
jpython-2.0 is fully compatible with all the new features in Python-2.0.
2) It will certainly contain all of the errata. All fixes in the errata
have already been added to the CVS. There will never be a reason for
choosing the errata over jython.
3) The CVS version already contain more fixes and features than the
errata. Extended print and list comprehension to name two.
There are still some things which I would like to see fixed before an
alpha1 release:
- Maybe a new installer. A free one for instance. It would be nice if
everyone could create an installable .class file.
- Small changes to the way classes are loaded. This is to fix the "can't
coerce self" bug and remove some of the differences between java package
and java dir packages.
