[Py4j-users] Py4J 0.8.1 released

[Barthelemy D. <bar...@in...>]

Hi,

this is a minor release featuring the long awaited availability of
Py4J on maven central repository.

This release includes the following new features:

- Fixed a bug in type inference when interface hierarchy is deeper
than abstract class hierarchy.

- Added a utility method is_instance_of in py4j.java_gateway to
determine if a JavaObject is an instance of a type.

- Released Py4J in central Maven repository
(https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/net/sf/py4j/py4j/0.8.1/).
I'm still waiting for a final confirmation from sonatype before they
enable the automatic syncing of Py4J maven releases.

Installing Py4J is one pip away: pip install py4j

Again, feel free to contact me or to write a feature request on GitHub!

Cheers,
Barthélémy
