face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:maroon'>today,
we have released IronPython 0.9.3. The biggest change for the release is the
implementation of closures and re-factoring of the name-tables. The closures
were becoming the limitation of IronPython that we were coming across more and
more often when working on the regression test suite. Most of the bugs fixed
are closure related, but there are few others that we fixed:</span></font></p>
