[Ironpython-users] IronPython 2.7.4 RC Now Available

[Jeff Hardy]

On behalf of the IronPython team, I'm happy to announce the first (and
hopefully only) release candidate for IronPython
2.7.4<https://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/106471>.
This release includes everything from IronPython 2.7.3 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.

If there are no major issues, this will become the final release around
August 31.

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 working.

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. Because this is a prerelease package, you must use
-IncludePrerelease on the command line or select "Include Prerelease" from
the package drop-down menu.

A huge thanks goes out to Pawel Jasinski, Michael van der Kolff, and
Aleksander Heintz, who contributed most of the changes for this release.
