<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Python Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’re pleased to announce the third and hopefully
final release candidate of IronPython 2.6 which can be downloaded at <a
href="http://ironpython.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=36150">http://ironpython.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=36150</a>.
Release Candidate 3 only includes Silverlight-related changes pertaining to
some incompatibilities between 2.6 RC1 and RC2. Those who utilize
IronPython for non-Silverlight scenarios will happily find virtually no churn
from RC2. We strongly encourage everyone interested in Silverlight to test out
this release ASAP because we plan on releasing IronPython 2.6 final in a week
if no major new regressions are detected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
