[Ironpython-users] IronPython 2.7.5 Beta 1 Released

[Jeff Hardy]

On behalf of the IronPython team, I'm happy to announce the first beta
release of IronPython 2.7.5[1]. This release includes everything from
IronPython 2.7.4 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.

IronPython 2.7.5 Beta 1 is primarily a collection of bug fixes[2]
which smooth off many of the remaining rough edges. The complete list
of changes[3] is also available.

A huge thanks goes out to Pawel Jasinski[4], who contributed most of
the changes in this release. Thanks is also due to Simon Opelt[5],
Alex Earl[6], Jeffrey Bester[7], and yngipy hernan[8].

For Visual Studio integration, check out Python Tools for Visual
Studio[9] which has support for IronPython as well as CPython, and
many other fantastic features.

IronPython 2.7.5 Beta 1 is also available for embedding via NuGet
[10]. The main package is IronPython, and the standard library is in
IronPython.StdLib.
