[Pythonmac-SIG] 2.2.1 and Waste

[Jack Jansen]

Folks,
I'm about 90% done for 2.2.1, there's one issue left that I want 
your feedback on.

I've included the new versions of most toolbox modules, since 
they appear fully backward compatible (i.e. I count on you all 
to download the 2.2.1 alfa or FC or whatever it's going to be 
called) and there's exciting new stuff in there (Carbon scrap 
manager, finally, and unicde support for CFStrings, to name two) 
and the current version of the IDE uses the new stuff and looks 
a lot better on OSX.

One thing that I'm not sure about, however, is Waste. If I could 
use the current waste this would mean that enabling waste on OSX 
MachoPython would allow you to play with the IDE in MachoPython. 
It sort-of runs. But, as Waste is an external package, this may 
compromise backward compatibility, and micro-releases are 
supposed to be 100% backward compatible. The new waste is 
compatible with IDE, so there's really no reason to believe 
there will be any problems here, but still: if you use waste 
either tell me not to update it, or please make sure to download 
the 2.2.1 alfa and test your application.

And if you're going to tell me not to update please do it soon 
or you'll be too late:-)
