<div class=Section1>

<p class=MsoNormal>We&#8217;ve updated the hosting API spec for the DLR and uploaded
it to: <a href="http://compilerlab.members.winisp.net/">http://compilerlab.members.winisp.net/</a>
(as DOC <a href="http://compilerlab.members.winisp.net/dlr-spec-hosting.doc">http://compilerlab.members.winisp.net/dlr-spec-hosting.doc</a>
or as PDF <a href="http://compilerlab.members.winisp.net/dlr-spec-hosting.pdf">http://compilerlab.members.winisp.net/dlr-spec-hosting.pdf</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We&#8217;ve been working on updating the code to reflect the
spec and you&#8217;ll see some of that in IronPython 2.0 Alpha 7.&nbsp; You&#8217;ll
continue to see new functionality in the future releases as well as our latest
source code drops.&nbsp; Currently I believe IronRuby may be more up-to-date
then IronPython&#8217;s CodePlex page which is a little out of date from the
holidays but will be updated soon.&nbsp; Our current status is that we have ScriptEngine,
ScriptScope, ObjectOperations, and ScriptSource (but still named SourceUnit) fully
implemented &#8211; although there are certainly some bugs still lurking.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Our current planning going forward is to work on replacing
ScriptEnvironment w/ ScriptRuntime, switching to use MBRO objects instead of
the interfaces we use today (completing the remoting story), and other small
tweaks.&nbsp; In February we&#8217;ll be looking at finishing up the support
for multiple engines in the same app domain, defining and implementing the full
set of configuration/options, and general fit-and-finish work.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Once again we&#8217;d appreciate any feedback you have on
the spec or the current implementation.&nbsp; Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
