Jython-2.0a2 is now available.
http://jython.sourceforge.net/index.html
Install as with Jython-2.0a1. I don't intend to announce this any
more widely than these lists for now.
The release includes some bug fixes as well as a few but crucial
new features.
New features:
- Added -v (verbose) option to jython command. It will trace
import statements. Use three -v's for maximum information.
- A redesigned of the internal java class handling. The new
design allow for a pluggable javaclass -> PyJavaClass handling.
Included are plugins that use weak or soft references.
- Use a SecureClassLoader for loading compiled python modules.
This should allow jython to be used with the java plugin and
its fine grained security.
CPython-2.0 compatibility
- Added support for formatting of long values in "%d %x %X %o".
The support does not match CPython2.0 exactly, but matches
what CPython2.1 will do.
- The \x escape will only eat two hex characters and will
always create a character with values < 256. Use the \u
escape for high-byte values.
- A ucnhash module to support the \N{name} escape.
Take a look at the NEWS file for more information about the differences.
