No, I think you are confusing two topics.  The existing Stackless
PyPy, which does no C stack manipulation, doesn't work with the JIT
without a lot of careful work.  This solution is deprecated now.  The
new solution, which does C stack manipulation, works with the JIT out
of the box.  Both solutions are "implementation details" only; you get
the same tasklet/greenlet API to work with.

Yes.  The next release is likely to be 1.6.1 soonish.


A bientôt,
