Hello Python Community,

 

I'm pleased to announce the release of IronPython 2.0.1.  IronPython
2.0.1 is a minor update to IronPython 2.0 which in turn is a CPython 2.5
compatible release running under the .NET platform.  Our top priority
for this release was improving upon performance while retaining
backwards compatibility with IronPython 2.0.  One of many notable areas
we've improved upon is that float-integer comparisons are now 74% faster
than they were in 2.0.  A full report documenting changes in interpreter
performance from 2.0 to 2.0.1 can be found at
http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/Wiki/View.aspx?title=IP201VsIP20Perf.
A special thanks goes out to Resolver Systems for helping us in
identifying areas needing performance improvements. 

 

In addition to numerous bug fixes in our IronPython 2.6 branch that were
backported to 2.0.1, we also fixed the following CodePlex bugs
specifically for this release:

*         20632:  can't write a __len__ returning a uint

*         20492:  TupleExpression.IsExpandable is internal, should be
public

*         20605:  Compiling with pyc and PySerial module

*         20616:  wrong TypeError message when invoking "str.join":
implicit parameter 'self' not counted           

*         20623:  InitializeModule needs to add refs to mscorlib/System 

We'd like to thank everyone in the community who contributed to these
bugs: fwereade, Eloff, neraun, and kuno.
