[Ironpython-users] IronPython 2.7.4 Release

[Jeff Hardy]

On behalf of the IronPython team, I'm happy to announce the final release
of IronPython 2.7.4 <https://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/90087>.
This release includes everything from IronPython
2.7.3<https://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/edit/81726> and
earlier. Like all IronPython 2.7-series releases, .NET 4 is required to
install it. Installing this release will replace any existing IronPython
2.7-series installation. Assemblies for embedding are provided for .NET
3.5, .NET 4, .NET 4.5, and Silverlight 5.

Improvements in IronPython 2.7.4 are mainly a collection of bug
fixes<https://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/list/advanced?keyword=&status=Resolved&type=All&priority=All&release=2.7.4&assignedTo=All&component=All&reasonClosed=All&sortField=Votes&sortDirection=Descending&page=0>,
many of which are directed at getting IPython <http://ipython.org/> working.
The complete list of
changes<https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/compare/ipy-2.7.3...ipy-2.7.4>
is
also available. Specific improvements include:

   - Many fixes to the ast module (thanks to Pawel
Jasinski<https://github.com/paweljasinski>
   )
   - A bunch of fixes to locale and tty handling (also courtesy of Pawel)
   designed to get IPython working.
   - .NET 4.5 builds, courtesy of Aleksander Heintz<https://github.com/Alxandr>
   - Other fixes from Michael van der Kolff<https://github.com/mvanderkolff>
   , Fraser Tweedale <https://github.com/frasertweedale>, and Igor
(WildOgr)<https://github.com/WildOgr>
   - A bunch of small fixes backported from the master branch

Android and Silverlight 4 assemblies have been dropped from this version.
The Android assemblies need some more work to be usable with
Xamarin.Android, and Silverlight 4 is just plain dead.

For Visual Studio integration, check out Python Tools for Visual
Studio<http://pytools.codeplex.com/> which
has support for IronPython as well as CPython, and many other fantastic
features.

IronPython 2.7.4 is also available for embedding via NuGet<http://nuget.org/>.
The main package is IronPython, and the standard library is in
IronPython.StdLib.
