Yes, there have been changes to outer ring. I'm changing the version right now :)

Sounds good to me. Does the DLR version still need to be bumped?

Also, I may reevaluate based on the rate of bugs being fixed - if lots of fixes are coming in, delaying the release may be worthwhile. Obviously, any showstoppers would have an affect as while, but I don't believe there are any of those at the moment. The only current blocker for release is that the test suite does not pass 100%.

Compatibility with 3.x is going to be much better than 2.x, and with most Python stuff needing porting effort anyway getting IronPython support will be easier. That's going to require some work in the innards, and I'm not sure too many people are familiar with those parts or IronPython yet.
