[Py4j-users] Py4J 0.6 Released!

[Barthelemy D. <ba...@us...>]

Py4J 0.6 has just been released!

This release includes the following new (and great) features:

- New exception, Py4JJavaError, that enables Python client programs to 
access instance of Java exception thrown in the Java client code.

- Improved Py4J setup: no more warnings displayed when installing Py4J.

- Bug fixes and API additions.

I invite you to take a look at the 0.6 change log:

In case you did not notice, Py4J moved to github so contributing is now 
easier than ever!

I plan to do at least another release (0.7) before Py4J leaves beta and 
moves to 1.0.

Cheers,
Barthélémy
