! Welcome to Jython 2.0
  =======================
- 
- Jython is the successor to JPython. The Jython project was
- created in accordance with the CNRI JPython 1.1.x license, in
- order to ensure the continued existence and development of this
- important piece of Python software.  
- 
- 
- If you are a JPython-1.1 user, you'll want to take a look at some
- of the differences between JPython-1.1 and Jython 2.0.
- 
- In particulary the few places where backward compatibility have 
- been broken. 
- 
-     - The user configuration file is now called <user.home>/.jython
  
!     - The jar file containing all the jython classes is now called 
!       jython.jar.
! 
!     - Text files will pass data read and written through the default
!       codecs for the JVM. Binary files will write only the lower eight
!       bits of each unicode character.
! 
!     - arrays passed to java code will no longer autocoerce just 
!       because the elements can be autocoerced.
  
!     - The precedence of java loading have changed. Now the sys.path
!       is searched for python modules before the CLASSPATH and sys.path
!       is searched for java class and java packages.
  
!     - The \x escape have changed, now it will eat two hex characters
!       but never more. The behaviour matches CPython2.0
  
-     - The python.path property is appended to sys.path instead of
-       being inserted at position 1 in sys.path.

! Welcome to Jython 2.1
  =======================
  
! Important: The format of both compiled ($py.class) and frozen module
! has changed from version 2.0. It is necesary to delete existing
! $py.class files and recompile frozen applications when upgrading
! to Jython-2.1.
  
! Other backward incompatible changes include:
  
! - The case of module names are now important, even on case ignoring
!   filesystems like windows. This matches CPython behaviour.
