Release 2.5.1 is close, please help test

The 2.5.1 release is almost ready. The release notice is here http://doc.pypy.org/en/release-2.5.x/release-2.5.1.html Note it has a broken link, the whatsnew is here instead http://doc.pypy.org/en/release-2.5.x/whatsnew-2.5.1.html This will be fixed when I merge the release branch back into default together with the official release The files ready for repackaging are here http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/release-2.5.x/pypy-c-jit-76372-8e24dac0b8e2... http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/release-2.5.x/pypy-c-jit-76372-8e24dac0b8e2... http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/release-2.5.x/pypy-c-jit-76372-8e24dac0b8e2... http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/release-2.5.x/pypy-c-jit-76372-8e24dac0b8e2... http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/release-2.5.x/pypy-c-jit-76372-8e24dac0b8e2... http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/release-2.5.x/pypy-c-jit-76372-8e24dac0b8e2... http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/release-2.5.x/pypy-c-jit-76372-8e24dac0b8e2... https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/get/release-2.5.1.zip https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/get/release-2.5.1.tar.gz Could people please take a few minutes to test them out on their favorite platform? Also, any corrections, additions, or edits to the release notice would be welcome, especially a name instead of XXXXXX Perhaps from http://xkcd.com, something to do with bromeliads http://www.bsi.org/brom_info/what.html, maybe we can draw a parallel between the spread of them and the spreading popularity of rpython and cffi: "Within the last hundred years, bromeliads have become more widely used as ornamental plants. Originally only found in royal botanical gardens or the private greenhouses of wealthy Europeans, their popularity has spread to the masses. Today bromeliads are more available to the enthusiast than ever before. New species are still being discovered and plant breeders are developing ever more stunning hybrids to choose from." Matti

Looks like there is a regression in pypy-2.5.0 since 2.4.0 in virtualenv https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/725 On Sun, Mar 15, 2015 at 10:41 PM, Matti Picus <matti.picus@gmail.com> wrote:

That's because pypy comes with a shared library since 2.5. I'll leave it to virtualenv people to decide if they need to fix the test or if there is a more serious problem for them. At least virtualenv seems to work in practice. Armin

maybe we should actually write up (or copy-paste) what stdlib 2.7.9 means (it changes quite a bit)
Agreed. Also the stdlib contains the test suite, so the changes also impact the core interpreter.
