On behalf of the Jython development team, I am pleased to announce that Jython 2.7.2 has been released. Notable additions include: * much improved support for locale, but as a backward-incompatible change, it is provided as an opt-in. * a main program that behaves more like CPython in many small ways, including -i and -E support. * a JAR and POM that may be cited as a dependency by other projects using Gradle or Maven (experimental). * a great many bug-fixes. For the details see: https://www.jython.org/news and the NEWS link there. Convenient download links are at https://www.jython.org/download . Thanks are due to the many contributors to Jython for making this possible. -- Jeff Allen (forwarded from Jython-users, original message at https://sourceforge.net/p/jython/mailman/message/36956522/ -Stefan Richthofer)
