[pypy-dev] release seems ready

[Pim van der Eijk (Lists)]

Did the lxml project indicate they will provide a new release soon that 
incorporates these fixes?

I tried to build the latest development code from source, but run into 
many issues (lxml build server down,  source package missing the 
pre-generated C code etc. etc.),  and customer company policy wouldn't 
allow using a development version in production anyway.

The lxml 3.5.0 does not install with pypy-5.0.0 (it used to with 
pypy-4.0.1, though it was too buggy to be useful),  and the lxml-cffi no 
longer installs.
