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. http://jython.sourceforge.net/NEWS.html Bugs can be reported to the bug manager on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=12867 Cheers, the jython-developers |
