<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">The IronPython and Dynamic Language Runtime teams are proud to announce the release of IronPython 2.0 final. IronPython 2.0 is the culmination of nearly two years worth of work resulting in a CPython 2.5 compatible release on .NET 2.0 SP1. By far, the biggest change to 2.0 is that our 1.1 codebase was refactored to run on top of the <A href="http://www.codeplex.com/dlr">Dynamic Language Runtime</A>. With this we automatically get improvements in many feature areas such as better ..NET interop support and hosting Python from managed code. There have been many other major improvements as well. The most notable are:</P>
