Hello IronPython community,

We have just released the version 0.7.6 of IronPython.

The most important changes that this release contains are:

* Filtering of exception call stacks
   - by default, we filter the call stack to only show the relevant
stack frames.
   - the property PythonEngine.ExceptionDetail was added to toggle the
behavior
* Function attributes
* Handling of loops in lists and dictionaries
   - e.g.: x = []
           x.append(x)
* __doc__ is now implemented for modules and classes
* Added support for System.Single (float) data type
* Double-import of module whose import raises exception is now fixed

The following members of the community contributed to this release by
reporting bugs, and providing valuable feedback. We extend our thanks
to:

Anthony Tarlano

Keith Farmer
John Doty

* open() reads in "\r\n"
