[IronPython] Announcing IronPython 2.0 Beta3

Sun Jun 15 06:21:22 CEST 2008

The "Silverlight" folder in the ipy release *should* basically mirror the sdlsdk for just python, but no one asked me about it beforehand. =P Sri, can we just update the IronPython release zip with the "script" folder from the SDLSDK?

Michael, the IronPython release is like 2 days older, so you should be good with just the sdk. Also, they aren't "separate" ... the sdk will always have IronPython in it. But the IronPython release *should* give you everything you need to make SL apps w/Ipy.
