Notes
PR 1094 reviewed by Amos (thanks!)
2.5 release in progress
PR 824 will go into 2.5
RC will be released this week - taking a while due to combination of platforms & python versions
github master branch will be 2.5 release and only land bug fixes
will only publish 2.5 to PyPI - not Nuget
Benedikt will start new develop branch after next meeting (June 18th)
once that's done we'll start integrating big PRs that break things (including dropping Python 2.x)
other PRs on hold until after 2.5 release
Victor's branch (for after 2.5 release)
worked on providing Python interfaces to existing .NET collections
implemented and injected mixins for stuff from collections.abc into reflected classes implementing interfaces from System.Collections.Generic
also implemented buffer interface for arrays
depends on features that haven't yet landed upstream
Python for .NET now part of the .NET foundation!
no change to the license
after the 2.5 release we can improve our appveyer setup
